Testimonials
"I wanted to reach out on behalf of High Country Gardens to say how much we enjoyed reading Sue Gray’s recent article about the new pollinator garden at Thompson House Park. The work you’re doing to replace turf with drought-tolerant, pollinator-friendly plants is inspiring—and so important for both water conservation and habitat creation."
