Bask in the balance of the all native Colorado Oasis garden. A central sweep of grasses harmonizes with warm-toned blooms on one side and cool-toned blooms on the other. Much like the many canyons of Colorado – with a river meandering between sunny and shady canyon walls – this garden beckons you to enjoy the symphony of warm and cool with a respite from the summer’s heat. Designed by Cheval Oldaker of Ecoscape Environmental Designs.

What Customers Say

Designed With Colorado in Mind

Just moved to Colorado from a much wetter environment, and didn't know what plants would be best for native, waterwise, pollinator friendly plants. The Garden In A Box resources made it easy for me to get started!

City of Westminster participant

Perfect for Pollinators

I love this program, and I keep recommending it to others! My garden looks great and I have attracted humming birds for the first time!

Town of Superior participant

Easy, Beautiful Gardens

You couldn’t have made it easier for somebody who is not a gardener, but wants to have waterwise and environmentally-friendly planting. Very comprehensive. Thank you for providing this program.
