It’s time to order gardens for fall planting! The City of Brighton Utilities Department has partnered with conservation nonprofit Resource Central to offer Brighton residents the low-water Garden In A Box Program. Through this partnership, City of Brighton utility customers can receive a $25 discount off the program’s water-wise garden kits while supplies last. 

Sales are now open to the public. Order for fall soon, pick up and plant in late August/September.

Garden In A Box makes it easy to have a professionally designed, water-wise yard of your own. Residents can choose from 11 Garden In A Box kits with the $25 discount. Box kits include anywhere from six to over 50 starter plants, with selections ranging from vibrant hardy xeric (low-water) perennials to a pollinator friendly vegetable garden. Gift certificates are also available for purchase.

These pre-designed kits are tailored to Colorado soil, and the simple plant-by number maps take the guesswork out of buying and planting. Resource Central has saved an estimated 228,600,000 gallons of water over the lifetime of gardens sold. 

Find the perfect garden for you and your landscape by visiting resourcecentral.org/gardens. Kit pickup will be in the fall — details will be released when they become available.
