The experience of xeriscaping our front yard was so much easier than we anticipated. Resource Central guided our project every step of the way. We did the work ouselves, (we are over 70) and are totally pleased with the results. Their plants were inexpensive and very high quality.

Owner Response

Thank you for your support and the five-star review, Suzanne! We’re glad to know that our Garden In A Box kit helped transform your yard into a beautiful, waterwise landscape. Get excited to see your plants peek out this spring — in year two, they creep, and in year three, they leap! 🌱

Resource is awesome! Twice when I have replaced wood decks with composite material I wanted to give Resource the old decking boards that were still in good shape. The problem is, I don't have a vehicle to transport the old lumber to Resource. I simply scheduled with them to come out and they come and pick it up. What a great way to make sure that usable materials are getting reused, and making it so easy for the homeowner to get it done! Thank you so much!!!

Owner Response

Thank you for the fantastic review, Chris! We’re glad that our pickup service made it easy for you to donate decking boards to our Materials Reuse facility, where they will have a second life. With your help, we're making a significant impact in reducing waste—diverting over 5.5 million pounds of materials from landfills in the past year. We truly appreciate your support!

There are lots of tools and building materials here. If you are doing a project in your home, I highly recommend looking here for materials first. There were sets of 18 cabinets and lots of single pieces.

Owner Response

Thank you for the five-star review, Rachel! Choosing reused materials is a win for conservation, and with your support, we're making a real difference. We’re so glad you found what you needed for your project and we'll see you soon!

Resource Central’s Garden in a Box program has made xeriscaping a large yard at a reasonable cost possible. The selection of gardens from full sun to shade offer options for all areas. The gardens are easy to plant, care for, and it’s exciting to watch them mature and bloom. Many of my plants have even been divided and used to fill in other areas of my yard. I highly recommend Garden in a Box!

Owner Response

Thanks so much, Holly! Your feedback is inspiring and helps encourage others to embrace low-water landscaping through our Garden in a Box program. We’re thrilled that your plants are thriving and expanding into new spaces! Your recommendation means the world to us and plays a big part in making waterwise yards the new norm in Colorado. Thank you for your support!

I absolutely love what Resource Central does, especially the Garden in a Box program. Yes, the plants are young and small (as mentioned by other reviewers) and yes, there may be plant substitutions, which you are made aware of ahead of time (pointed out by another reviewer) and yes, they will take a few seasons to establish (which is expected – the photos are of what the garden will look like when it matures). The plants are a steal based on what you pay for and the variation is hand-picked for you. Such a huge time saver! Last year, we purchased the largest Garden in a Box available to replace an entire side of our front yard. There were 50 plants and nearly all of them survived their first winter. We had to replace a few plants, but that's it! they are doing amazingly well and thriving. We purchased another smaller Garden in a Box this year for the front part of the other side of our front yard, and they are doing great as well (except for some rabbit and squirrel damage – we purchased some natural repellant which seems to be working). All in all, this organization is doing GREAT things and I tell everyone about it. I absolutely love the brochures they put together on the different plants, how to care for them, and what to expect. Also, the "color by number" charts on how to organize the plants is a huge help. Their customer service is attentive and super nice as well. Highly recommend!

Owner Response

Hi Courtney, Thank you so much for your kind review and for sharing photos of your garden with us! We're thrilled to hear your Garden in a Box is thriving and that you've enjoyed transforming your yard. You're right—watching the plants grow and mature is all part of the process! We're glad the brochures and plant layout guides were helpful, and it’s great to hear our team made your experience a positive one. Thanks for your support and helping to make waterwise yards the norm in Colorado. Happy gardening!

The best way to beautify your yard without breaking the bank! The plant by numbers design is brilliant.

Owner Response

Wow, Allison! Thank you so much for the wonderful Garden In A Box review. The photos of your low-water garden are stunning—what a blooming success! Thanks for supporting our efforts to make waterwise yards the new norm in Colorado.

We have purchased four gardens in a box over the last few years and have been super happy with the results! They make it so easy. Highly recommend!

Owner Response

Hi Lauren, We're so glad that you've enjoyed Garden in a Box (four times over—wow!). Making it easy to grow and maintain beautiful, waterwise gardens is what we’re all about. Thanks for taking the time to let us know we’ve hit the mark with a five-star review!

I've bought three garden in boxes and absolutely love them. The plants may be small at the start but they are excellent quality, harder to source native/low water plants and have done really well as they continue to grow. It's so much easier than making a landscaping plan and sourcing every plant individually. I also really like how they include plants that bloom throughout the season. I will definitely be purchasing another as I continue to slowly replace the lawn with flowers :)

Owner Response

Thank you so much for your five-star review, Megan! We’re thrilled that our Garden In A Box program is helping replace your thirsty grass with beautiful waterwise plants. Isn’t it amazing how the starter plants grow into such colorful, pollinator-friendly powerhouses? Thank you for supporting our initiatives to make waterwise yards the new norm in Colorado and for sharing your lovely photos!
