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 Customers Say

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!
