This is a very special place, in the heart of southeast metro Denver, across the road from my condo rental. The selection here is extraordinary. It is a rejuvenating place to just browse when one needs to see greenery especially during the browner times of year for our local High Plains ecology. I do think the prices here are crazy. I bought one gift for a colleague here a couple months ago. I wish there was some way to bring down the prices of plants, but I'm sure there are a host of economic factors making the prices so high. Otherwise, this place would have 5 stars. The murals, and very charming details to building facades and other structural features of the campus really do add to the aura of the whole place.

Lots of gardening expertise, plants, and gear.

Super cute place. Very large with so many cool plants, garden statues, and pumpkins, very large pumpkins. We went for the Boo Hollow, which was super fun and cute. The people hosting that were all very nice and helpful. The actual garden center people didn't seem to friendly or helpful. Not one of them greeted me.

Tagawa Gardens in Centennial, Colorado is one of those rare places that genuinely feels alive — not just from the thousands of plants, flowers, and trees that seem to breathe around you, but from the people who work there and the community energy that fills the air the second you walk in. This isn’t just a nursery; it’s an experience, an ecosystem of color, scent, and inspiration that somehow makes you feel calmer, lighter, and more connected to nature every time you visit. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted by the earthy aroma of soil and the hum of quiet conversation between gardeners comparing perennials and first-time homeowners dreaming up their outdoor space. The staff are truly next level — incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate. They don’t just sell plants; they teach you how to make them thrive. You can tell they genuinely care about your success, not just the sale. I’ve had employees spend 15–20 minutes walking me through lighting conditions, watering schedules, and soil mixes, making sure I left with exactly what my home needed. The selection is stunning — from tropical houseplants and succulents to trees, vegetables, herbs, and the most vibrant seasonal flowers you’ll ever see. Everything is organized beautifully, and every display looks like it came out of a magazine. Their garden décor and pottery section alone could take you an hour to wander through. Whether you’re looking for rare plants or just want to refresh a corner of your living room, they’ve got it all. The events and workshops here are another reason Tagawa stands out — from gardening classes to seasonal festivals that bring families together. Around the holidays, it transforms into a wonderland of poinsettias, wreaths, and twinkling lights that feel almost nostalgic. The fall season is pure magic — pumpkins everywhere, vibrant mums, hay bales, scarecrows, and that warm sense of community you only get at local family-owned spots that have been around for decades. It’s also worth mentioning how immaculately clean and well-maintained everything is — the aisles are wide, the signage is clear, and you can see the pride in every corner of the property. The staff truly take ownership, and it shows. Even checkout feels pleasant, which is saying a lot in today’s world. Every visit reminds me why I love supporting local businesses like this. It’s not corporate or impersonal — it’s a place built on love for nature, artistry, and people. If you’re new to Colorado or have driven past Tagawa a hundred times without stopping, do yourself a favor: park the car, step inside, and take a deep breath. You’ll leave with more than just a few plants — you’ll leave inspired, grounded, and grateful. Tagawa Gardens is not just the best garden center in Colorado — it’s one of the best experiences you can have in the state, period.

Great staff

If you are looking for rare or interesting plants to add to your collection, this is honestly the place! Colorado weather has really been testing my skills to keep plants alive so I have decided to start building my indoor collection with unique and different plants. I was SO pleased with the selection here and I am literally here every week to see what new and interesting things have come it. All of the plants in my indoor collection are from here and they are just beautiful! All of the foliage is healthy and happy and the soil conditions are perfect for each plant. No spider mites or mold or crispy edges, just an endless selection of things I don’t need but desperately want in my collection. The prices are also super reasonable and it keeps me from ordering from online vendors which can be dicey. I usually repot my plants the moment I get home but I haven’t felt the need to with these plants. I have only repotted a few that quickly outgrew their little starter nursery pots and those are also still thriving. And if I didn’t need another excuse to be here every week, they host Rare Plant vendors with insane inventory! I have been to a NUMBER of other nurseries around Denver and I have yet to find one that can even come close to the variety, quality or value as Tagawa Gardens. I won’t name names but I went to another nursery yesterday in the heart of Denver and generally felt like at any moment I could be part of a statistic of violence with screaming homeless and deranged individuals skulking around the nursery. Needless to say, I won’t ever be going back and sticking to Tagawa because the environment here is tranquil and clean and safe. It has definitely become my place to stroll when I’m feeling stressed because the staff is so kind and welcoming. I am kicking myself for not coming here sooner! Do I spend too much here? Yes. Will I keep going? Also Yes. Do I have a plant buying problem? No Comment.

Absolutely in love with this place. They have everything under the sun and take great care of their plants. I could spend all day here. Y’all aren’t hiring a new plant hobbyist by chance, are you!?

As a horticulturist, this place is a dream. However, being a small business this place is definitely expensive. I only purchase hard to find natives from this place, but alas, definitely check them out!

Went there today was a positive experience lots of stuff and still adding. Nice staff and clean to walk around. Drive from East Denver worth it 🤝
