The Garden in a Box - Easy Waterwise Gardens
Resource Central’s Garden in a Box provides everything you need to remove water-thirsty pants like grass and replace them with a garden that uses much less water. The ‘box’ includes professionally designed plant by number maps and instructions to help you design your waterwise garden, care guides and info sheets with maintenance suggestions, as well as the option to plant a perennial or vegetable garden (vegetable garden kits available in the spring).
With an average of 60% of residential water use occurring outdoors, replacing parts of your lawn with a xeriscape, or waterwise landscaping with plants adapted to our semi-arid climate, is an easy way to drastically reduce your water bills!
The steps are made easy by Resource Central:
Measure your space and determine sun exposure.
Order your Garden In A Box online.
Remove lawn, if needed. Our kits are designed to replace sections of lawn for the most water-saving impacts.
Pick up your Garden In A Box.
Plant and mulch your Garden In A Box.
After the first season, dial back the water and begin saving!
Don’t miss out!
