Gardens
Gardens are a form of therapy by providing places that engage our senses. For some, it is the toiling and the process of creation that satisfies. For others, it is the fragrance that comes from brushing against lavender and agastache while walking on a path. Still, for others, it is listening to the grasses rustling in the wind or watching hummingbirds play tag. And, of course, there is nothing better than a sun-ripened tomato picked from a vine in your own backyard. So, think about what you want to create and let us craft it for you.
Fragrance Gardens
Fragrant roses
Imagine walking in your garden from spring to fall filled with never ending fragrance. It begins with spring blooming bulbs such as hyacinths and daffodils, and is followed by lilac, Cheyenne mock orange, and Boulder raspberry bushes. You can also enjoy sweet pea and honeysuckle vines and regal lily about this time. It continues with iris, dianthus, and, of course, roses such as Victorian Memory and Hansa. Lavender, Agastache cana with a double bubble gum scent or rupestris with a licorice scent, and Russian sage follow along with sweet autumn clematis.

Rock Gardens
Lewisia cotyledon
Rock gardens are an ideal method for cultivating mountain flora and for beautifying sloped, sunny, and rocky terrain. They can be an attractive addition to a xeriscape garden. The plants are small and have a long bloom time. Among these are stonecrops, columbine, phlox, and rockrose. Many garden plants such as roses, irises, and primroses have alpine cousins. There are even dwarf forms of hosta and daphne.
Organic Veggies and Herbs
Nothing can be tastier and healthier than freshly harvested vegetables from the garden. Starting with sugar snap peas planted in early spring, to crisp string beans in mid-summer, to the long-awaited vine ripened tomatoes, fill your plates with these treasures from your own garden.
