The Water Conservation Garden

About Us

Our Mission
The mission of The Water Conservation Garden is to educate and inspire through excellent exhibits and programs that promote water conservation and the sustainable use of related natural resources.

The Water Conservation Garden has nearly six acres of displays that showcase water conservation through a series of beautiful themed gardens, such as a native plant garden, formal garden, compost exhibit and a vegetable garden, as well as how-to displays such as mulch and irrigation exhibits.
