Exclusive to High Country Gardens, our Habitat Hero Birdwatcher Pre-Planned Garden was created by renowned garden designer Lauren Springer, in partnership with Plant Select® and Habitat Hero, a program of Audubon Rockies. Designed specifically for the Rockies, but well-suited for many climates, the garden includes a majority of North American native perennials with pollinator-friendly Old World perennials for a resilient, wildlife-friendly garden. Winner of the 2014 Green Thumb Award.
