Join the Garden In A Box team as we share community stories to inspire more Coloradans to ditch their thirsty lawns for waterwise landscapes. This month, we spoke with Jooyoung from Highlands Ranch about their experience.

What inspired you to plant a low-water garden?

Every time I strolled around the neighborhood, the gardens with native flowers stood out with their vibrant colors. They looked far more aesthetically pleasing than plain green turf. This inspired me to create my own garden.

What was your favorite part of your Garden In A Box experience?

Watching tiny plants grow into something voluminous and colorful with just the occasional watering was incredibly fulfilling.

What is your favorite plant from your Garden In A Box?

Colorado Yarrow. I love the look of the leaves and the pinkish white flowers that bloom throughout the season.

Do you have any advice for someone thinking of purchasing their first Garden In A Box?

Your neighbors will appreciate the beauty of your garden and might even follow your lead. Waterwise gardens not only save water but are also visually attractive and contagious!
