The Valley Wood Park Waterwise Bird Garden project, in its various phases, was created as a demonstration garden to show visitors alternatives to water hungry lawns. This park project is meant to inspire and educate our community about trees, shrubs, and flowers that can be grown in our high desert environment using half the water that lawns require. With our area experiencing less rainfall and higher temperatures we can benefit from learning how to create beautiful urban landscapes in a more sustainable way.
Tom Stille designed and continues to expand this inspiring and delightful collection of waterwise gardens. Learn more about Tom, and the garden and then come and visit or join in volunteering. Check the links for more information.
