SummerHome Garden is a beloved community pocket park founded by Denver conservationist Lisa Negri. What began as an effort to preserve a neighboring lot from development has blossomed into a magical low-water garden that welcomes thousands of visitors each year, supports pollinators, and brings together dozens of volunteers. Wander among colorful drought-tolerant plants, sculptures, bee hotels, bug snugs, and other delightful surprises that show just how beautiful waterwise gardening can be.
