Visiting a xeriscape, or low-water-use, demonstration garden is an excellent way to get new and innovative ideas for your home landscape. You won’t have to travel far, as many of the Water – Use It Wisely partners feature unique demonstration gardens located throughout the Valley. To see a list of over 15 demonstration gardens throughout Arizona, visit http://wateruseitwisely.com/region/arizona/links-and-resources/demonstration-gardens/
At xeriscape demonstration gardens, you’ll get the opportunity to see interesting plant combinations and plants at their mature size. Discover creative ways to use low-wateruse plants and conserve water resources and save money at the same time. Be sure to bring a notepad and camera, for your garden visit!
Many xeriscape gardens have signage and guided tours that can help you identify the plants. Visit the Glendale Xeriscape Demonstration Garden on Saturday, November 7th from 9 to 11 a.m. for a guided tour with Water Conservation staff and learn about the unique adaptations that allow water efficient plants to survive and thrive in the low desert.
