Habitat Gardens

Habitat gardens are designed to welcome wildlife. Our outdoor gardens provide nectar, egg-laying sites and shelter for local butterflies and other beneficial insects.

Spring - Discover gentle hues of lilac and columbine, and watch the first Painted Lady butterflies.

Summer - Explore our Buddleia collection and look for lady bugs and dozens of other beneficial insect species that these plants attract.

Early Autumn - Seek monarch butterflies stopping at Maxmilian sunflowers for a well-earned drink.

Xeriscape Gardening

In Colorado's dry and sunny climate, xeriscaping is a great way to conserve water while creating a colorful, butterfly-friendly environment. By choosing the right plants and installing water-wise irrigation, gardeners can reduce their water bills while enjoying all the beauty of a traditional garden.
