Low-Water Gardening Made Easy
Garden In A Box offers professionally designed, waterwise garden kits tailor-made for Colorado yards. We take the guesswork out of selecting which plants work well together and we even include plant by number maps to help design your new xeriscape. When you remove unused areas of thirsty lawn and replace them with our waterwise gardens you can ultimately reduce the amount of water used on your landscape! Apart from being waterwise, these garden kits offer colorful blooms that are sure to attract beneficial pollinators and add curb appeal to your property.
