Regenerating Biodiversity
Welcome to Our Habitat
Our vision for our space began with saving water, but we quickly learned that planting native plants to Colorado's Front Range, that is to say, plants that would have been here before there was an airport or homes, would save water and do much more. We could sequester more carbon, restore biodiversity, feed wildlife, save the bees, provide habitat for local birds and other wildlife, and stop mowing, aerating, and fertilizing altogether!
We were thrilled to work with Curtis Manning of Meadow Pro, who also teaches the Native Plant Class at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Curtis is well-versed in both native planting landscape design as well as hardscaping, and we can't say enough good things about him and the Meadow Pro team!
This space has since been included in a New York Times Newsletter . Gardening for birds isn't difficult, but necessary as we have 30% fewer birds than we did in 1970!

The Process
"If you are concerned about the human impact on our planet's climate, reducing the amount of lawn you mow each week is one of the best things you can do to reduce your family's carbon dioxide emissions."
