“Gardening in Denver is different from almost anywhere else in our country. It’s dry here, only 14 inches of precipitation a year on average. We have intense sunshine most days, low humidity, drying winds, and temperatures that may fluctuate 50 degrees or more in 24 hours. Then there’s the soil: highly alkaline and, in most parts of the metro area, heavy clay.
“No wonder gardening is a challenge to newcomers and natives alike! Yet, many Denver landscapes are amazingly beautiful and productive. It’s a matter of knowing how to work with our special conditions.” — from Homestead’s Landscape Manager Nancy Bauer, who writes a column called Landscape Logic that appears in the monthly Homestead Herald.
