This Longmont resident transformed their yard with Garden In A Box kits and waterwise landscaping to create a stunning, low-water oasis that still works well with pets!

In Colorado’s dry climate, Russell shares how easy it can be to create a waterwise landscape that supports both water conservation and your lifestyle.

With help from our Garden In A Box program, Russell replaced their traditional thirsty lawn with a vibrant, low-water landscape that welcomes pollinators, saves time, and significantly reduces water use—all while staying pet-friendly.

“Garden In A Box was perfect for our needs. The instructions were easy to follow, and the plants are chosen to thrive here. If you’re thinking about it—go for it. There are so many benefits.”
