What To Expect
- Our xeric gardens feature anywhere from 14 to 30 starter plants in 4-inch pots. ** Plants will be small relative to their mature size, and they will not be in full bloom.
- "First year they sleep, second year they creep, third year they leap!" During the 1st and 2nd growing season, xeric plants will be in the establishment phase – requiring regular watering to encourage a deep taproot system, and not yet having reached their full size. On average, allow 3 years for your Xeriscape garden to reach full maturity then start dialing back your water usage!
- Gardens will easily fit in a small car - yes, we're talking Mini Cooper small - unless you ordered multiple gardens (we're not judging). One garden will come in either one or two 2 ft. x 1 ft. trays (pictured left).

Well Suited Plants for Colorado!
I love knowing that I am buying plants that are well suited for the Colorado environment and that I'm doing my part to save water. I get excited to come out and look at my flowers every day to see how they're changing. The plants are healthy and communication was very clear.

Longtime Garden In A Box Fan
I have been changing my front lawn to xeriscape over the last 6 years and have been buying GIAB since the beginning. These are the only plants that ever survive. My garden is gorgeous and I can't say enough about these gardens.
