Description
Created in collaboration with Denver Botanic Gardens and Northern Water, this is also our first 200 sq. ft. garden! Splendid Seasons brings color, interest, and pollinators to your yard all year long. The garden is designed with plants that are high-color and low-water. When planted with small rock mulch, known as squeegee, these plants will be show-stopping and will save you water. It is perfect for the larger areas of your yard that would benefit from added height with the stunning fall-blooming Maximilian Sunflower and Giant Sacaton Grass. Denver Botanic Gardens also offers this document about waterwise gardening best practices for the Front Range of the Rockies.
*We cannot guarantee deer or rabbit resistance.

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.
FAQs
What Customers Say
Thriving Plants at a Great Price
"I love this program. In addition to the plants being less expensive than what I can get at my local nursery, the quality of the plants is much better. I've noticed that nearly all of the Garden In A Box plants I put in two years ago are still alive and thriving."
Centennial Water & Sanitation District participant
Swap Water Thirsty Grass with Pretty Blooms
"This is a great service. I have participated 2 years in a row, and plan to take out more grass next spring. Grass is a really stupid crop - [xeric] flowers are much better! And prettier! And water saving!”
City of Westminster participant
Choosing Plants Made Easy
“If I knew about this earlier I would have planted years ago. I was always hung up on not knowing what to plant. I’ve recommended Garden In A Box to so many people!”
