Waterwise Garden

The Waterwise Demonstration Garden provides information and inspiration for gardeners intent on limiting water usage while still having beautiful productive yards and gardens. The Water-wise Garden encompasses a Native Garden, a Cactus Garden and a Crevice Garden. This garden is a Plant Select demonstration garden with new plant varieties being added each year.

Included in the Waterwise Garden are four warm-season grass plots – Dog Tuff grass (a Plant Select variety), two of Hachita grama grass (one left uncut to show the seed heads), and Buffalo grass. The Buffalo grass is by far the most even look for a warm season lawn that takes much less water than Bluegrass. 

Waterwise Resources:

  • Plant Select offers several free, waterwise landscape designs to help you with your own projects.

  • Resource Central offers free, online Waterwise Yard Seminars that are taught by local landscape and horticultural professionals. Get your landscaping questions answered and learn how to keep your yard looking great while using less water. Seminar topics range from low-water landscape design, xeric plant selection, smart irrigation, and more. Both novice and advanced gardeners are sure to learn something new.  Seminars are held virtually, via Zoom.
