Designing a New Garden in Denver – We were staying at a friend’s house in Denver, and they are in the process of redesigning their landscape. We jumped in and added a few thoughts on design that we would think about.

Denver Botanical Gardens has some of the best genetics for Ice Plant found on Earth. If you’re in a dry, hot area — highly recommend
Enjoyed this video 👍🏼
Great info- thx!🎃
Thank you for those ideas when designing a garden! The Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield also showcases plants that are great for the Denver area too.
I have a rose that needs transplanted is it still a good time
These design videos are so helpful!
Good morning Jim and Stephany. This was a great video, full of valuable information and expertise on designing a garden layout. I really struggle with invisioning how it will look, how much space to use for garden beds etc. I really appreciate this. I hope to one day join your Learn to Garden series. Thank you so much. 😊
If you’re still in Denver, come visit us in Aurora. We’ve been watching you for years!
This design videos are very helpful. Question what is that tree your friend has planted in the front ? Sorry if you said it and I missed ❤
I linked the light meter in the description of the video. Thanks for watching!
Some dwarf blue conifers would really set off the house color, maybe even one bigger one, if there's enough sun. What a great video Jim, design is really hard for people.
Great content. Thanks
☺ Interesting take on gardening in Denver. The climate is somewhat challenging, the soil is mostly clay, short growing season, intense sunlight and arid conditions. I am a native and a gardener in this area. It ain't pretty like NC.
I was hoping you would plant and talk less but I’ll take what I can get😂
My favorite YouTuber came to Colorado. We just recently relocated here. I hope you enjoyed yourself.
I gardened in the Front Range for almost 20 years, and it’s definitely challenging. 😅 Not only is the air dry, and rainfall low, you also have to deal with watering restrictions. Drought tolerant planting is definitely the way to go!
Thanks Jim, always great idea from you!
Cool to see you here in my neck of the woods because I always lament the kind of plants you can grow that I cannot! I hope we get to see more of the experience. Kendrik Lake Park in Lakewood, CO has an amazing xeric garden that is a great place to get ideas.
Very helpful to hear you talk through your thought process when designing new garden spaces.
It's great to learn from your thought processes, thank you! Enjoy your visit!
The former owner of my house had 3 honeylocust trees planted 18 years ago, 15 ft from the house on a small .18 lot. As much as I miss the dappled shade, the tree maintenance became too much, and the roots were becoming big issue .
I don’t think I could ever have a landscape in a climate where I have to irrigate the entire season. Troubleshooting irrigation is such a pain and constant fiddling to make sure it’s dialed in
I started a new garden bed today on my birthday – Jim Putman Style! Compost down today. Wood chips tomorrow! Thanks for all that you have both taught us!!!
Can you tell us what that small evergreen is on the right side of the yard? I have had a few pop up in my gardens just like it, but can't find any others like it in the neighborhood. I have no idea where they came from from or what they are.
Not far from where I was raised. 😆
Really helpful hearing you talk this out and seeing the drone footage!
Great video, as always! Maybe a silly question about the hours but do we measure and base the decision on where to plant something based on the hours the plant would get during the summer? I'm always confused as it is vastly different in the summer vs in the winter.
I seriously do NOT think we should design our very small front yard to accept a postal worker who wants to CUT across our yard to avoid 10 ft of walking….are you kidding me. Please do not support such a behavior. Please remember these are federal employees who WE pay thru our paxes to serve us…..let's get REAL here. I have had to resign my yard do to their damage each year…..I am sorry I will not bend to their destructive disrespective behavior.
Fun! I live in Denver and in the same general neighborhood. Looking forward to seeing the transformation!!
Great planning video. You covered lots of points one should think through during the planning process.
Once again, you are inspirational. Happy Halloween.
Being a neighbor that is unfamiliar with the conditions of our unique environment in Denver, this is very helpful!
