Pueblo West Xeriscape Garden
One of the finest gems 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 or making 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.

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
