Garden in a Box

Xeric Garden Program

Town of Lyons water utility customers can take part in the Garden in a Box program – a water-wise, pre-planned garden of native plants. The gardens are a selection of six professionally designed perennial, xeric gardens that include 14-30 starter plants, a plant and care guide and plant-by-number maps for each garden type. Prices range from $111 to $161, depending on the number of plants and square feet.
This year, 15 discounts of $25 are available for Lyons water utility customers. Beginning March 1, interested residents can add their name to the pre-sale list to be notified when the gardens go on sale. Go to resourcecentral.org/gardens/shop and choose the highlighted text in the first paragraph.

After the discounts are gone, both Town of Lyons residents and anyone living in unincorporated Boulder County can still order the gardens at the normal, undiscounted price.

Ice Rink Closed for the Season

Due to warming temperatures and inconsistent ice, the ice rink has closed for the rest of the season. About this time of year, the sun gets high enough above the cliffs that it melts the ice in the afternoons and creates a bumpy, difficult surface to skate on when it refreezes.

Hope you were able to get out and enjoy the ice a bit this winter. Warm temps are on the horizon for Lyons and spring is just a few weeks away.
