Xeriscaping in Colorado: Weather, Wildlife and Beyond! @ Golden Community Center, Coal Creek Room - North

Xeriscape Garden

When: Thursday, April 19, 6 – 8 p.m.
Where: Golden Community Center, Coal Creek Room – North; 1470 10th St. Golden, CO 80401
Speaker: Kenton Seth of Paintbrush Gardens

It is becoming more and more widely known that Xeriscaping is a good idea, and there are some really spectacular, eye-catching xeric landscapes out there. But how does your average person achieve such beauty and perfection? And what about when life happens – pets, critters, storms, budgets, and lifestyle realities? How does it work then? Does it have to be ugly to be easy?

Join Kenton J. Seth, a genuinely lazy Native Landscape designer and plant nut, to find out the hands-on, real-life answers that make saving water just the beginning of the benefits you’ll reap from your Xeriscape. If this is not one of the most useful classes you take this year, then you might have taken a wrong turn finding the room.
