Colorado Springs Utilities Demo Garden
Colorado Springs Utilities Demonstration Garden
The Rock Crevice Garden is one of the signature areas of the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. Emulating the amazing rock formations of Kissing Camels and Garden of the Gods in the background, this garden was constructed with red sandstone stood on edge.
The resulting spaces between the rocks were filled with soil. This creates deep crevices where roots can find a nice pocket of soil.
The foreground of the garden is planted with groundcovers, Plant Select petites, and rock garden specialty plants. Dwarf evergreens and ornamental grasses planted at the back of the garden create a backdrop for the smaller plants.
