HGTV names The Garden Barn Montana’s must-visit garden center
GALLATIN GATEWAY — What started with a handful of seeds and a dream has grown into one of Montana’s most recognized garden destinations.
The Garden Barn, located just outside of Bozeman, was recently featured online by HGTV as Montana’s must-visit garden center, earning national recognition for its unique combination of plants, animals, and visitor experiences.

“We were chosen for Montana as the number one garden center to visit when you’re traveling,” said Josh Marks, grower and manager at The Garden Barn.
HGTV described the business as a “flora and fauna nirvana,” a title that seems fitting for a destination where visitors can browse thousands of plants while encountering peacocks, chickens, koi fish and even resident cats.
For Marks, the recognition is a reflection of years of work and a vision that began long before The Garden Barn became a local attraction.
“That this is what it looks like when someone has a dream and then is able to make that dream come true,” Marks said one person has said about the garden.
As the business approaches its 11th year, Marks says the operation remains a labor of love.
“People’s reactions to what we do fulfills me, it fuels me and keeps me going,” he said.
Much of what visitors see is grown on site. The Garden Barn produces many of its annuals, perennials, vegetables and herbs, including plentiful varieties of tomatoes.
“Just from seed in the basement we grew over 100,000 plants,” Marks said.
That level of production requires constant attention, particularly during Montana’s unpredictable spring weather.
“When it’s a cold night, I sleep here. I have to watch all the heaters. I’ve got cameras set up,” Marks said.
The Garden Barn’s colorful displays have also become a draw for pollinators, with flowers spread throughout the property attracting bees and other beneficial insects throughout the growing season.
Marks says creating memorable experiences for visitors is just as important as growing healthy plants.
“You want your trip here to be an experience you’re going to remember,” he said.
Looking ahead, The Garden Barn’s owners hope to continue expanding the destination beyond the traditional gardening season. Future plans include a new building, additional animals and attractions designed to create a year-round experience for visitors.
“Waterfalls, fruit trees, macaws, just something that Montana doesn’t have,” Marks said.
For now,the national recognition is bringing new attention to a business that has spent more than a decade growing roots in the Gallatin Valley.

DEQ to host Big Hole River water quality open house in Divide
MISSOULA, Mont. — The Montana Department of Environmental Quality will host a public open house later this month to provide updates on water quality conditions and restoration efforts in the Big Hole River watershed.
The event will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on June 23 at the Divide Grange Hall, located at 105 Schoolhouse Road in Divide.
DEQ staff will share information from a recent water quality assessment of the Big Hole River and answer questions about ongoing and future projects in the watershed. Representatives from Save Wild Trout, the Big Hole Watershed Committee, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks and Montana Trout Unlimited will also be in attendance.
According to DEQ, excessive algae growth has been identified in parts of the watershed, prompting efforts to identify pollution sources and develop strategies to improve water quality.
The first streams in the Big Hole watershed were added to Montana’s impaired waters list in 1988. Since then, more than $1.35 million in federal funding has supported projects aimed at reducing pollution and improving stream habitat, flow and water temperatures.
DEQ says it has completed 91 pollution-reduction plans, known as Total Maximum Daily Loads, for the Big Hole River and its tributaries. The agency noted that arsenic and lead impairments were removed from Elkhorn Creek in 2025 following successful restoration efforts.
More information about the meeting is available on DEQ’s website.
