With June being national rose month, we only found it fitting to talk roses.
We all know that every rose has its thorn, but did you know that every rose also has its own name?!Many roses are not named for the qualities that they have as a flower, but the qualities the person theyare named after possesses. From the Jack Frost to Sea Gull, we were just as curious as you about whererose names come from.
How Roses Get Their Names
Edible Colorado Landscapes
05.26.17
What’s better than a landscape that looks good, but also is edible?! Not a whole lot.
Edible landscapes require some tending to, but are possible in a Colorado climate. It’s also not just a garden, but can be fruit trees, fruit shrubs, and vegetable or fruit gardens. Incorporating edible plants into landscapes makes your outdoor areas more interesting, colorful, and delicious.

Americans spend nearly 90 percent of their time indoors. Allergens, volatile organic compounds and other pollutants travel throughout our inside space’s air on any given day. In the late 1980’s, NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America studied using houseplants to purify the air of space facilities. They discovered that several houseplants can significantly help improve the quality of the air, and lucky for us- help clean indoor air on Earth, too!
Here are some common, low maintenance house plants to help spruce up your spaces while purifying your air.
