Pueblo West Xeriscape Garden

One of the most beautiful botanical attractions of Pueblo West. If you are wondering about beautiful alternatives to the stone or lawn in your yard, this is a great place to see them, before clicking the buy button to make a hasty purchase you might later regret. Where else can you see so many trees, cacti, succulents, grasses and flowers in an environment that is pretty much the same as what's in your yard? Stop back often to see what is flowering throughout the year. One way to know what you like, when it flowers, how much space is required, and what good companion plants might be. What is xeriscaping? For us here in Pueblo West, the topsoil can often be absent or very shallow at best, and we are lucky if we get a total of a dozen inches of rain per year - it's a dry (in Greek, xēros) climate, so when we choose the most suitable plants for our landscapes, we are xeri-scaping!

The Pueblo West Xeriscape Garden is run by volunteers with support from The Pueblo West Metropolitan District which provides support for a drip irrigation system and much more. Want to volunteer? Come get your hands dirty on Friday mornings from 8-11am on Fridays during the growing season. Email us at cattailgardeners@gmail.com for more information. A full decade's worth of photos was generously supplied by Mary Lavan, one of our dedicated volunteer xeriscapers. We hope that you enjoy our Xeriscape Garden photos.

Why xeriscape? Well, because you can save precious water first of all, and this means water conservation. Saving water through xeriscaping also means that you don't have to worry as much when we have dry spells. Another reason is that nearly all of the plants that you see in the garden are resistant to grasshoppers and deer. Native plants have a long history in the area, and can handle periods of dryness very well. Also, most of the wildflowers are either perennials, which will return every year, or abundant seed producers. Having abundant flowers and seeds is great for pollinators like bees, hummingbirds and more, and the seeds are great for bird life, which will eat some and drop some in other areas for even more flowers. Try it and give it some time. Cacti that are native often provide spectacular flowers, and will produce offspring to fill in the area you choose. Whatever your motivations, the best time to try is now, since some time is required to get natives established.
