"Saturday's Rock & Reuse brings together so much of what Resource Central is about: helping people conserve water, keep useful materials out of the landfill, and make sustainable choices that are practical and affordable," said Neal Lurie, President & CEO of Resource Central. "As we close out summer and continue to celebrate 50 years of conservation, it's a great opportunity to bring our community together, get yards ready for fall, and inspire the next season of waterwise gardening and reuse."

Since 2003, Resource Central's Garden In A Box program has helped Coloradans replace lawns into low-water gardens with plant by number kits that cut water use without sacrificing color or curb appeal. Many of the plant varieties available at the sale also support biodiversity, making it easy to build a pollinator-friendly garden alongside a lower water bill.

As the summer winds down, Resource Central is encouraging gardeners and supporters to join the Garden In A Box 2027 Interest List & Newsletter at ResourceCentral.org/gardens/interestlist. Subscribers get the first look at next year's newest garden collections, a reminder when gardens are available for preordering, and free waterwise gardening tips.

Rock & Reuse is part of Resource Central's 50th anniversary celebration, marking five decades of helping the community conserve water, reduce waste, and live more sustainably.
