XERISCAPE GARDEN

 

Colorful trail signs invite you to learn the seven principles of Xeriscape gardening.  Plantings are showcased to illustrate the most efficient ways of landscaping the Central Florida environment.  Your walk through the three distinct zones of Natural, Drought Tolerant, and Oasis plantings will lead to a better understanding of how you can do your part to conserve water and keep your Florida yard looking beautiful.  Don't forget to stop by our covered outdoor classroom building for an interesting demonstration of a rain barrel water re-use system.  Then follow the signs and soon you'll be a "pro" at Xeriscaping.
