Colorado Gardening: Challenge to Newcomers

Colorado Garden
Newcomers to Colorado often have trouble getting plants to survive, let alone thrive. More often than not, they previously gardened where "you stick a plant in the ground and it grows." Typically, those from northern states such as Minnesota or Michigan are puzzled why certain trees that did well for them there do poorly in Colorado.

Winter cold is not the only factor that determines plant survival. Low humidity, drying winds and physical properties of the soil also influence how well plants perform here.
