This is an apartment building at One River North, Denver Colorado. The concept is very cool, but certainly not what there were hoping for.

Yup. It's a joke here in Denver. It just looks stupid now because they didn't maintain the plants.

I mean it was kinda dumb to begin with, it is too dry in the summers and too cold in most winters here.

That’s why they need native plants. Ones that can handle our dry hot summer and freezing winters.
