unH20 Demonstration Xeriscape Garden
One of the first projects of the Okanagan Xeriscape Association, when it was founded in 2009, was to create a public Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. Support was provided by the Okanagan Basin Water Board, the City of Kelowna and Environment Canada as well as local horticulture professionals, businesses and volunteers.

This demonstration garden includes six theme gardens. They are examples of the colourful, versatile and attractive landscapes that can be created by following xeriscape principles and using native and drought-tolerant plants. The garden was opened in 2010.
 
The objective is to educate people about the use of the hundreds of drought-tolerant plants available to help conserve water in the near-desert climate of the Okanagan. As well, plants adapted to the climate will thrive and be pest resistant.
 
Enjoy a visit to the garden, pick up a brochure and perhaps you will develop an interest in xeriscape gardening for your own outdoor spaces. Tours are held regularly by knowledgeable guides. Members receive notices about such events ahead of time.
