Description
A pollinator’s dream, this garden will continue to bloom from late spring through fall, tempting pollinators both in midsummer and in the shoulder seasons when there is little else for them to munch on. This garden will paint your landscape with an ever-changing and always striking southwestern sunrise with pinks, vibrant orange, and cool yellow hues. Designed by David Bailey of Urban Oasis.

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.

Great for the Gardening Novice
Great program for novice gardeners (me!). Very easy to plant. Curious to see how the plants do now that the rains have let up for a few days.

Saving Water!
So excited to see this coming to fruition. Learned a lot from getting all these native plants. Will definitely be saving a lot of water in this area that was so hard to grow turf.

Waterwise and Affordable
This is a great program. I've wanted to xeriscape for a few years now and this helped me to be able to afford it. Thank you!
