The Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD/District) hosted its Water Savvy Garden Tour on Saturday, April 12, to educate residents about the value and beauty of water savvy landscapes. Participants joined the self-guided tour to learn how they can make changes in their yards to be more water efficient. Over one hundred participants walked away with the knowledge and motivation to transform their water guzzling grass into an attractive, water-saving landscape.
Participants began at CVWD where they were given maps and materials and saw the water district’s demonstration landscapes. They visited over 10 examples of low-water using landscapes throughout the community, including residential landscapes that were previously selected as winners for CVWD’s Landscape Contest.
"The gardens visited were a pleasure to tour and the homeowners were very hospitable and willing to answer questions,” commented a tour participant. “We are excited about moving forward with transforming our yard. Thank you for a wonderful experience.”
Participants visited with featured landscape owners and Master Gardener volunteers to learn straight from the source what plants and design elements work well in our warm climate. By viewing multiple variations of attractive, water saving landscapes, participants are inspired to make improvements in their own landscapes, resulting in water savings while beautifying the community.
