Lyons is considering a $15,000 Boulder County grant request to replace selected town-owned landscaped areas with native, drought-tolerant gardens, a proposal on the Sustainable Futures Commission’s Nov. 12 agenda.
The commission is scheduled to discuss the proposal at 6:30 p.m. The draft agenda says the gardens would aim to reduce water use and maintenance costs, support pollinators and demonstrate sustainable landscaping. It lists a $3,750 local match, which could come from cash or in-kind contributions.
The county’s 2027 Environmental Sustainability Matching Grant Program page sets the application deadline at 5 p.m. Nov. 20.
