Free Fort Collins event highlights waterwise gardening and local horticulture expertise
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Gardeners looking to create more sustainable landscapes in Northern Colorado can explore drought-friendly ideas and connect with local experts during “Plants that Thrive” on Tuesday, June 2, at the CSU Perennial Gardens.
Hosted by Colorado State University Extension and Fort Collins Nursery, the free community event runs from 6 to 8 p.m. and focuses on waterwise perennials that perform well in Colorado landscapes.
Attendees can stroll through the gardens while visiting with Master Gardener volunteers and horticulture professionals about plant selection, gardening practices, and maintaining resilient landscapes during Colorado’s dry summer months. Organizers say the evening is designed to be casual and accessible for both experienced gardeners and beginners looking to reduce water use while still creating colorful outdoor spaces.
Light snacks will be provided during the event, which is open to the public at no cost.
