The following
resources are provided to help you locate general information on
gardening topics. Please
keep in mind that while some gardening techniques are universal
regardless of location, landscaping in Colorado offers unique
challenges due to our altitude, temperature variations, limited
moisture and lack of humidity.
Therefore, while information in these resources is useful, we
recommend you check with one of our professional staff members at
Phelan Gardens in Colorado Springs for additional advice for
your gardening questions. Associations:
