Description

Exclusive to High Country Gardens, our Habitat Hero Birdwatcher Pre-Planned Garden was created by renowned garden designer Lauren Springer, in partnership with Plant Select® and Habitat Hero, a program of Audubon Rockies. Designed specifically for the Rockies, but well-suited for many climates, the garden includes a majority of North American native perennials with pollinator-friendly Old World perennials for a resilient, wildlife-friendly garden. Winner of the 2014 Green Thumb Award.

 

The Habitat Hero Birdwatcher Pre-Planned Garden covers 84 sq. ft (7 ft x 12 ft). It includes a garden map, care and planting instructions, and 14 plants:

 

Note: This garden will grow in zone 5b as well as USDA zones 6-8.

Plants are subject to change due to availability. Any substitutions will feature plants with similar attributes suitable to the garden design. Not all plants will be in bloom at the same time, as may be depicted in the artist’s rendering.

Planting & Care

Planting Care

Planting and Caring for Pre-Planned Gardens & Collections

Soil Preparation: Remember that proper soil preparation is the key to healthy, vigorous blooming perennials. Use Yum Yum Mix and a high quality compost at recommended rates to prepare the soil. Inoculate the plant roots with Plant Success mycorrhizal inoculant.

Planting: Plant according to the mature size of the plant. Don’t be tempted to put the plants too close based on their size in the pots. They’ll need the space to grow and fill in the expected area.

Fertilizing: Once annually in mid-fall, after plants begin to go dormant. Use Yum Yum Mix at recommended rates to improve the soil and provide essential plant nutrients.Use it with high quality compost, mix half and half by volume and spread on top of the soil. Scratch it in lightly and water thoroughly. It is also beneficial to treat the plant roots with Plant Success® mycorrhizal root inoculant if you didn’t do so at planting time. (Inoculation only needs to be done once.)

Mulching: In arid climates mulching is very beneficial. Coarse textured composts, shredded leaves, pine needles and composted bark are all excellent mulch materials. Apply to a depth of 1-2 inches. Replenish annually (or as needed).
