You pick up the pre-ordered plants at your selected pickup event, then take them home and plant them according to the maps. Follow the watering guidelines and seasonal care for your garden, then spend all the time (and money) you save simply enjoying the summer.
How it Works:
Plant low-water plants according to the planting map.
The Garden In A Box program offers two times to purchase gardens during the gardening season:
Pre-order in March for pickup and planting in June.
Pre-order in June for pickup and planting in August and September
