Benefits of Planting Native

Native gardens aren’t just practical—they’re stunning. Colorado’s native plants offer vibrant color, seasonal interest, and natural beauty that rivals traditional landscapes. Designed to thrive in our climate, these plants save water, require less maintenance, and support local wildlife. Perfect for urban gardeners, native landscapes fit small yards, patios, and community spaces while helping clean the air and water. They also restore biodiversity and contribute to climate resilience. This course introduces you to the benefits of native gardening and shows how it can transform your space into something both beautiful and ecologically powerful.
