Description
Designed with our mountain residents in mind, this garden is hardy to at least 7,000’ (many plants hardy to 8,000’ or more), but it will grow just as beautifully for our lower elevation, front-range folks, as well! With shades of yellows, pinks, purples, and whites, this cheerful garden will coax the butterflies and birds out to dance among the blossoms. Designed by Deryn Davidson, Horticulture Agent for CSU Extension.
*We cannot guarantee deer or rabbit resistance.

What To Expect
- Each garden contains starter plants in 4-inch pots.
- The plants will be small relative to their mature size and may not be in bloom.
- Occasionally things don't grow as planned. At times, we may have to substitute specific plants but we will always do our best to maintain the color and feel of the original design.

What Customers Say
Repeat Customer
Repeat customer for several years. This is a great service offering and has made it really easy for me to chip away at lawn in favor of more native/water-wise planting.
Denver Customer
Easy and Helpful
Love it! The plant by numbers and plant info is SUPER helpful. I loved all the reminders so I wouldn't forget my pickup. Such a great program, so glad to finally have a yard I can put some plants in!

Exceeded Expectations
I did Garden In A Box a few years ago at a different house. The flowers exceeded my expectations and turned into a beautiful garden in no time.
