Description

A place to learn, enjoy, and be inspired Since 2016 our goal at Valley Wood Park Waterwise Garden has been to create a demonstration garden to show visitors alternatives to water hungry lawns. We hope to inspire and educate our community about trees, shrubs, and flowers that can be grown in our high desert environment using 50% less water than lawns. As our region is experiencing less rainfall and higher temperatures we need to learn how to create beautiful urban landscapes in a sustainable way. 2022 tours are lead by Tom Stille, Horticulturist. All tours start at 10 am and end at 11:30 am -Spring: May 21 -Summer: July 9 -Autumn: Sept 2 To get in touch: Tom Stille: [email protected] 775.690.4261 Visitors to Valley Wood Park Waterwise Garden can easily walk through a self-guided tour to explore each of our eight themed gardens (each with its own water meter).
