Come and join Jan Midgley, longtime Wild Ones volunteer, as she shares the evolution of her garden since she first arrived in 2017!
She has been transitioning away from turf gradually over the past 4 years, creating multiple small pocket prairies. Her 1/2-acre lot in Lakewood has various versions of loamy clay with a pH around 7.4. Growing native plants from seed, Jan plants plugs in May, which frequently bloom by the fall. Jan has quickly become a knowledgeable leader in the propagation of our CO natives.
This year she was amazed by the succession of glorious blooms and the insects associated with them!

Jan moved west to CO in 2017 and began her adventure in arid, high-altitude gardening.She avidly attended classes and field trips, as well as volunteering at the Denver Botanic Gardens Herbarium to accelerate her climb on the steep learning curve.
