Moving to Boulder Colorado is a lot like moving to the moon, if you're from most anywhere else in the US. You think you know what it "should" look like or what you would like it "to look like", but when you actually get here you have to adjust your perceptions a bit. Boulder is located where the great plains end and the Rocky Mountains begin. Boulder isn't all plains and isn't all mountains, but somewhere pleasantly in between - and oh, did I mention the gorgeous foothills? With 300 days of sunshine, 17-25 inches of rain, an average of 158 inches of snowfall each year and with varying degrees of altitudes between 5000 - 14,000 feet above sea level there is an amazing diversity of plants - which gets me to my title point - what is heck is a "xeriscape"?
