The unseasonably warm weather presents a trial for gardeners: we want to get out and plant things but we know we’re likely to receive more snow. While you wait for May, enjoy planning your garden. The city’s annual garden-in-a-box program is going, so you can visit the online plant store and order a yard full of ornamental and edible plants. Each xeric garden comes with lots of healthy plants and a planting guide.
In addition to the low-moisture plants and water-conserving irrigation systems, they’ve added something new this year: planting structures constructed of beetle-killed pine.
Finally, here’s a gardening event you can put on your calendar: Creating a Lush Xeriscape – 4 Seasons of Beauty. This free seminar will be held on Wednesday, April 11th, at the Golden Community Center.
