Welby Gardens, a Colorado-based growing operation that is the exclusive grower of Hardy Boy Plants, announced it is planning to close down in July 2025. Welby President Marty Gerace released the following statement to Welby’s customers and partners on late Friday:
“I wanted to inform you of some major changes that will be happening in July of 2025 for Welby Gardens LLC, Hardy Boy Plants, and HardyStart Liners. After very careful consideration, the property owners have decided it is in the best interest of the company to close business operations and sell the property. The decision to sell was very difficult for the Gerace family as we consider the impact on our staffs, customers, and suppliers. We want to thank all our employees, customers, and suppliers for the many years of support of HardyBoy Plants and HardyStarts Liners. We plan to operate the business as usual until July 2025 and then cease operations. We are fully committed to providing the same quality of products and services through closing date and ask for your continued support and reliance on us as your supplier until that time. Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions.
