Bring the warmth of “golden hour” to your yard. This magical time, just before sunrise or sunset basks our Colorado foothills and mountains in golden, glowing light. Mimic this warmth all season long with the Golden Hour garden, perfect for planting along the Front Range and at our higher elevations. Designed by Annie Barrow of Denver Botanic Gardens in collaboration with Northern Water.

What Customers Say

Xeriscape Made Easy

Thank you! This is the best program. We wanted to xeriscape our yard, but the price tag and knowledge of native plants were out of range. This made it possible and our front yard is gorgeous now.

Right Plants, Right Place

Through the Garden In A Box program I have discovered so many valuable resources. So useful to this novice gardener as I am a transplant from the Northeast. Right plant, right place. Keep up the good work!
