Local Xeriscape Gardens Demonstrate What You Can Do
Grab some snacks and get inspired! If you’re planning on revamping your landscape this winter, one of the best design resources is your local xeriscape demonstration garden. They provide practical, first-hand examples of plants and plant combinations. Many of the gardens also have shady places to enjoy a picnic lunch, so plan to spend some time exploring and enjoying the surroundings as you build ideas for your home landscape. Visit again as the seasons change to get an idea of how the plants look at different times of the year. Did we mention that many of these gardens are free to visit year-round?
Luckily for Arizona residents, there are many different gardens around the state ensuring you’ll find one close to you!
