So I’m starting a blog, about gardening, in the beginning of winter in Denver, Colorado. The timing is awful, but I’m diving in regardless. Thanks for stopping in!
Take a second to view the Denver Dry Garden about page if you can. If not, here is the TLDR (too long don’t read) version.
Denver Dry Garden is a drought tolerant garden, in a yard of a historic bungalow, in Denver, Colorado.
One year ago, I bought a 1925 bungalow in Denver. I was house hunting with my real estate agent. We came here on a showing, I stepped in, saw the old historic quarter sawn wood trim and original hardwood floors, and the front and back yards full of life and lilac bushes and potential, and a million dreams.
I fell hopelessly in love.
“I want it.” I told my agent. She said, “We have 3 other viewings this afternoon, let’s go see them!” My response was: “No, I want this. Cancel everything, let’s put an offer in.”
And so we did.
The bungalow had a 100 year old cast iron furnace, a broken sewer line, ancient kitchen appliances, and 18 lilac and 9 rose bushes in the yard.
I was all in. I was ready to take it on, create a new home and garden, and stop paying into the viscous Denver rent game.
