Description
Bask in the balance of the Colorado Oasis garden with a central sweep of grasses harmonized by warm-toned blooms on one side, and cool-toned blooms on the other. Much like the canyons along the Colorado Front Range – with a sunny side on the north, a shaded side on the south, and a meandering river running through the canyon center – this garden will draw you in to enjoy some respite from the summer’s heat. Designed by Cheval Oldaker of Ecoscape Environmental Designs.

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.

Perennial Garden Made Easy
I'm new to planting a perennial garden and you made it so easy. I didn't need to investigate what would work then run to various locations to find what I needed. You took care of all that. It was easy and you are so organized, also giving me so much info on each plant, how to take care and what to expect. I'm impressed and can't wait to see my garden thrive. Thank you!

It was so easy. We wouldn’t have created this beautiful garden without Garden In A Box. Absolutely love it.
