ABOUT

Welcome to Finding Nectar
Your premier Denver Suburbs-based nursery, dedicated to offering a wide selection of flowering plants that are not only beautiful but also bee, butterfly, moth, bat, and other pollinator-friendly.

 

Our Story
Finding Nectar began in 2021 when Plantsman Brad Kuhn transformed a small basement space into the nursery's humble beginnings. With a deep passion for pollinators and a concern for their declining numbers, Brad set out on a mission to make a meaningful impact.
At Finding Nectar, we believe in the power of nature and the critical importance of preserving our ecosystem. Our commitment to promoting Colorado native plants stems from their ability to enhance landscapes while providing essential habitats for local pollinators.
Did you know that nearly 1,000 species of bees are native to Colorado, with around 150 species in the Denver area alone? It’s an astounding fact—and one that inspires our work every day. By cultivating and offering native plants, we aim to help create thriving environments that support these invaluable pollinators.
Pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, birds, and bats, are essential to the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants. Each species plays a unique role in maintaining the delicate balance of our ecosystems. That’s why Finding Nectar’s mission is to empower you to create habitats that attract and nurture these critical contributors to our natural world.
Honeybees, in particular, hold a special place in our hearts. These hardworking pollinators share a remarkable symbiotic relationship with flowering plants. As they collect nectar, they also gather and transfer pollen, facilitating plant fertilization and reproduction. Without their tireless efforts, our floral landscapes would lose their vibrancy, and our environment would suffer.
Sadly, the honeybee population has declined by nearly 60% over the past 80 years. To help reverse this trend, we provide plants that bloom throughout the year, ensuring a consistent source of beneficial nectar for pollinators of all kinds. By incorporating these plants into your gardens, homes, commercial properties, or farms, you can support pollinator populations while creating beautiful, thriving landscapes.
At Finding Nectar, we invite you to join us in protecting pollinators, preserving nature, and celebrating the beauty of Colorado’s native plants. Together, we can make a positive impact on our environment and cherish the wonders of the natural world for generations to come.
