The document describes the progression of a native garden called Mother Nature's Montrose Garden over several years from 2018-2022. It started with establishing native plants like a hedgerow in 2019. In subsequent years, more native shrubs, perennials and vegetables were planted, along with gravel paths. By 2022, the hedgerow had filled in and bare spots were left for ground-nesting animals, providing food and habitat for local wildlife.
The garden is a showcase of plants that thrive during different seasons of the year. In spring, tulips and daffodils bloom while summer brings tomatoes, peppers and flowers like zinnias and marigolds. The garden allows visitors to observe how the landscape changes throughout the year as different flowers, vegetables and trees transition between seasons.
Lance-leaf Coreopsis is a herbaceous perennial wildflower native to eastern North America and the Midwest. It has bright green, lacy foliage and produces numerous flat yellow ray and disc flowers from May through the warm season. It is drought tolerant and attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. Lance-leaf Coreopsis is often used in mixed flower beds, prairie plantings, and near paths or vegetable gardens where it provides cover and food for birds. It requires full sun to part shade and any well-drained soil in water zones 2-3.
Sulfur-flowered buckwheat is a perennial sub-shrub native to western North America. It has rounded evergreen leaves and produces bright sulfur yellow flowers from late spring to summer that attract pollinators. It is drought tolerant and well-suited for hot, dry conditions in gardens, making it a sensible substitute for non-native water-wise plants. As a habitat plant, it provides food and cover for birds and small animals. Sulfur-flowered buckwheat requires full sun, rocky soil, very occasional water, and little other maintenance once established.
Redosier dogwood is a native shrub that grows well along streams, lakes, and forest openings throughout much of northern North America. It has upright stems, oval green leaves that turn yellow to purple in fall, and attractive red bark on young stems. Small white or cream flowers in late spring attract pollinators and produce small blue or white fruits that persist through winter providing food for birds. Redosier dogwood is often used for its winter color and fruit, and makes a good choice for hedges, wildlife habitat, or areas needing moisture tolerance like pond edges. It requires full sun to part shade and tolerates a variety of soil and water conditions with little other maintenance needed.
This document discusses the seasonal characteristics of the plant Krascheninnikovia lanata, noting that it flowers in winter, produces seeds in summer as a summer plant, grows new leaves, and its fall foliage and seeds are also mentioned, with a late fall mention of it being seen alongside Purple Coneflower.
Winterfat is a perennial sub-shrub native to western North America that grows from 1-3 feet tall. It has small, narrow gray-green leaves with wooly hairs that provide foliage year-round and turn gold in color. Small wind-pollinated flowers bloom late spring through summer. Winterfat is drought tolerant and can grow in a variety of soils and elevations from 1000-9000 feet. It requires full sun and little water once established. Winterfat provides excellent habitat for birds and winter browse for animals.
Bouteloua gracilis, commonly known as blue grama, is a warm season perennial grass native to North America. A cultivar of blue grama called 'Blond Ambition' was developed to have attractive blond-colored flowers and foliage throughout the growing season, making it a showier selection for ornamental grass gardens and drought-tolerant landscaping. 'Blond Ambition' remains a low-growing grass reaching only 6-12 inches in height.
Blue grama is a native perennial grass found throughout western North America. It grows 1-2 feet tall and wide, forming individual bunches or a turf-like sod. The fine-textured green leaves fade to tan during summer drought but green up again with rain. From May to August it produces red-purple flowers that form into seed-heads resembling tiny brushes. Blue grama can be used as an ornamental grass, in meadows, rock gardens, or as a low-maintenance native turf grass. It provides habitat and food for birds and butterflies.
This document discusses three cultivars of Philadelphus lewisii, or mock orange, that were planted and observed for one year in Montrose, Colorado. The cultivars discussed are 'Blizzard', which was planted and observed for one year, and 'Cheyenne', which was also planted and observed for one year.
This document discusses water zone (hydro-zone) gardening, which involves grouping plants together based on their water needs. This allows a gardener to save water by reducing irrigation in some areas while providing each plant with the water it requires. The document outlines four water zones based on annual precipitation: zone 1 for little to no irrigation (<10 inches/year), zone 2 for infrequent water (10-20 inches/year), zone 3 for occasional water (20-30 inches/year), and zone 4 for regular water (>30 inches/year). It provides examples of plant types and suitable irrigation methods for each zone. The document encourages gardeners to analyze their yard conditions and existing plant water needs to determine the best layout of
The document provides tips for planting native plants successfully. It recommends moistening the soil before planting. It also suggests digging a hole slightly wider than the plant's pot and not amending the soil. The tips include gently removing the plant from the pot, loosening its roots, ensuring the potting soil is level with the ground, firmly filling in the hole with soil, and watering in the new plant.
Epilobium canum is a species of flowering plant known as Hummingbird Trumpet. It is a perennial herb native to western North America that grows upright stems up to 3 feet tall. The plant produces tubular red flowers in summer that attract hummingbirds and other pollinators.
Chocolate flower is a perennial herb native to parts of the southwestern United States and Mexico. It grows 1-2 feet tall and wide, with gray-green leaves and sunflower-like yellow flowers that open during cool parts of the day, emitting a scent of dark chocolate. It is drought tolerant, requiring full sun and well-drained soil, and attracts pollinators like hummingbirds. It makes a good choice for hot, dry gardens as a border plant, in rock gardens, or to attract wildlife.
Mentha arvensis, commonly known as wild mint or field mint, is a species of mint that grows wild in fields and other grassy areas in much of Europe, Asia, North America, and North Africa. It is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows from a creeping rhizome system and produces pink or white flowers and aromatic leaves that have a minty scent similar to cultivated mint varieties. The leaves and flowering tops are sometimes used fresh or dried as a culinary herb to flavor foods and beverages.
Wild mint is a perennial herb that spreads via rhizomes to form large colonies. It has bright green, crinkled leaves with a strong mint scent and tiny white to pink bell-shaped flowers. Wild mint grows well in moist areas at higher elevations and spreads easily, so it is best grown in containers. It can be used to make tea or flavor cooking and repels insects. Bees and butterflies are attracted to its nectar and it provides good habitat for birds. Wild mint requires full sun, tolerates a range of soil pH, and regular watering.
Golden currant is a shrub in the gooseberry family that produces yellow flowers in early spring followed by small red berries. It grows 3 to 5 feet tall and prefers partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Golden currant provides early nectar for pollinators and its fall foliage color ranges from yellow to orange.
Silver buffaloberry is a shrub native to western North America. It produces edible berries and its leaves are used medicinally by some Native American tribes. The document provides a one sentence description of the plant Shepherdia argentea and indicates it is from the year 2019.
