At Harlequin’s Gardens we always knew that nurseries in Colorado are seasonal, but our commitment to local, sustainable, high quality, beautiful, delightful, unusual and innovative products is eternal. One of our owners, Eve Reshetnik Brawner, also happened to be a multi genre artist with artisan friends making amazing items without enough ways to sell them. 13 years ago we germinated the idea of a Holiday Gift Market that would not only provide our cherished customers with items that reflected the reputation we’ve tended with our outstanding nursery stock and sustainable garden center items, but would also keep our dedicated and amazing staff working in the off-season.
The market has flourished under Eve’s curation and care and every year new artisans bloom and are discovered, while like a favorite perennial, beloved returning artisans continue to intrigue us and bring forth new delights, too. So regardless of if you’ve been coming since that very first opening weekend or have yet to discover the most rewarding, enjoyable and entertaining place to shop for your holiday gifts (or yourself). This year our Retail Manager, Beth Karish is taking the reins, continuing our tradition and bringing her own special spark to our Holiday Gift Market! Please join us!
Opening weekend begins Thursday, November 21st with our Open House, and extends through Sunday, December 22nd, 2024 – plenty of time to find the perfect gift for somebody special awaits down that old country road that leads to Harlequin’s!

Adam Cecil, from Louisville, KY, grew up in a family steeped in music. He was swept into the Irish music scene when he met a couple playing tunes in the corner of a pub. After they took him under their wing, he developed a deep love for the style and community of Irish music, later placing to compete in the 2015 All Ireland Fleadh Cheoil on flute.
