What it does
High Country Gardens sells plants with a focus on waterwise western gardens. It offers pre-planned garden collections, perennial selections, lawn alternatives and supporting plant-selection articles.
High Country Gardens gives a gardener a collection route for a waterwise planting. Its pre-planned gardens are explicitly presented for western gardens, while groundcover alternatives provide a different entrance for someone reconsidering a conventional lawn. Plant-selection articles and a state-by-state rebate resource add research context to those product routes. Begin with the site and regional conditions, then inspect a collection or lawn-alternative selection. The western-garden focus is meaningful: a collection designed for that setting is not automatically suitable for a humid or otherwise different climate.
A pre-planned garden is a plant collection with a layout to follow, rather than an individual planting design made from your site measurements. For example, the Jumbo Waterwise garden includes a layout map and lists zones 4–8. Check the chosen collection’s growing requirements and delivery availability before using its plan.
