"This year I ripped out a section of lawn to make a perennial border with two Summer Dreams preplanned gardens. All the flowers/plants are thriving, the instructions were easy to follow, and I can't wait to see how these mostly natives and pollinators will grow into their beauty and ecosystem purpose."
"Like all High Country garden plants, I think it's best to review at least one year out since they need about a year to really fill in and get a good gauge for how they look and how healthy they are. However, I wanted to review because this planned garden has two Dotted Blazing Star plants. Both of these seedlings, as well as 1-2 previous Blazing Star seedlings I've purchased, die when transplanted. I really think they need to replace this in the planned garden or send out seedlings that are a year old or so. They literally arrive with one blade of grass. Incredibly fragile and die almost immediately after transplanting. They look really beautiful when they flower, but I've just never been able to actually grow one successfully. Might just be my issue as the Dotted Blazing Star on it's own has pretty good reviews."
"I'm so happy with my purchase! I've ordered from here before but this was my first 'set' that I've bought. I only lost two plants but that was from user error (last min frost took them out) and the rest are so healthy and thriving! Some are starting to bloom and I can't wait to see the goldenrod come fall!"
"All plants doing fantastic except the Liatris. Other than that though I am so pleased! Lots of blooms and growth already! Very happy!"
"Great for beginners."
"Purchased this pre-planned garden as part of a front yard renovation that is just getting started. I especially like that the pre-planned gardens offer collections that perform and look well together. My plants arrived healthy, even after a 10-day shipping delay because they weren't quite ready. A couple of them are smaller than I expected, but that's ok. They are now in the ground, even after having to sit around in their pots for a couple weeks because of our weird Denver spring - it wouldn't quit snowing! Everything is starting to put out new growth, on top of their existing growth, especially the Karl Forester Grass which looked pretty darn dead when I put it in finally. Can't wait to see how it all comes in!"
"Used plants to fill in newer garden walkway in front yard. Still waiting for some of them to get growing. . . had some really cold and windy days,"
"I ordered this garden in Spring 2020 and planted it (temporarily) in a cedar planter. I'll transplant into the garden this fall. Never did I Dream that the plants would grow so much and be so healthy in their first year. They are all in bloom and are attracting bees and even a hummingbird. I'm very happy with this garden."
"What a beautiful collection of flowers! Everyone enjoy this collection the neighbors, bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The photos show the garden 14 months after first planting them."
"Friends ask where can they buy these plants, and I tell them, High Country Gardens."
