Me. Just me next to a one of my sunflowers. There's a monarch butterfly too.
My rabbitbrush in bloom. Beautiful, but with a definite funk to it.

My Story

I moved out to a small town on the Eastern Plains of Colorado to teach at the local junior college.  After a year or so, I bought my first house (ever) and set to work fixing up the yard for my new wife and our soon-to-be child.

​

New homeowner, never did any major landscaping prior, I tried to find someone to hire to help me, but couldn't.  I had to learn how to do almost everything on my own.

​

And learn I did.  A few years on, I'm proud of my new low-water use landscape:  it's beautiful and I put some of the water I save to growing food for friends, family, and others.

​

You can do this too, you can make your yard fit your personality, using fewer resources without sacrificing beauty.  I can help.  

​

Oh, and if you're here for some good food, I got that too!
