Specific to Flowers & Plants-
Our City's parks have great displays of different
types of flowers and plants usually located in or near the areas where the
sign pad depicts the park's name, or in sculpture and display areas.
Please visit the parks and take a look at the great flower beds and
plantings!
The flowers and plants in City parks are planted
and maintained
by park workers, and are also planted each year with help from our
community! If you would like to volunteer services for
planting flowers and plants in the parks and public areas, please contact
us through the City Volunteer
Coordinator: (970)962-2675

Drought Conditions
& Plants-
Water Conservation Information
We suggest that people do not use too many
plants that require a large amount of water when planning their
landscaping or planting their gardens.
A good guideline of plants that
are drought tolerant or require less water are those that can be found
in the City's Xeriscape Garden. Information about it can be found on
the web page here:
