ColoradoScape contest moves to April

Each year, Castle Rock Water gives away a front yard landscape to one lucky resident who wants to incorporate less turf and more water-wise plants into their landscape. For this social media campaign, residents can post a video in April explaining the benefits a water-wise ColoradoScape will have for them and their landscape. Five finalists are chosen and the community votes for their favorite. The video with the most votes wins a new front yard with gorgeous perennials, vibrant shrubs and hardy trees, valued at more than $8,000! Plus, the four runner-ups will get their own Garden in A Box with more than 25 low-water plants. Visit CRconserve.com/Contest for details.
