Hi I'm trying to figure out how to create a plan for my yard in longmont. the link to front range plants isnt working. Do you have anyone that can help me plan a yard. Most gardeners/lanscapers are clueless and I really want to create a waterwise yard that supports local wildlife. Thank you

Expert Response
Hello and thank you for contacting us.
We are not able to provide landscaping planning services, but I can give you some resources to help with your planning.
Plantselect.org (This website also has a planning and design tool that you can use for your yard.
Waterwiseyards.org (This website also has a planning and design tool. There is a resource central page that will take you step by step in planting a waterwise yard that also attracts pollinators)
Plant Talk Colorado (planttalk.colorado state.edu) is also a good resource for videos and free webinars for design and cultural practices.
Lastly, I am attaching some Colorado State Extension Service Fact Sheets on Colorado Native Perennials, Shrubs and Trees that will give you some additional ideas.
I hope this information is helpful.
