HowePark_sswdRibbon Cutting Ceremony – Guided Garden Tours – Workshop on High-Efficiency Sprinklers

The first 100 attendees will receive a free gift bag with gardening tools

The Gardens at Howe Park are truly unique in that they showcase four, state-of-the-art, low-water use demonstration landscapes, including:

  • Sensible Switchover—represents the layout of most Sacramento residential front yards but features low-water plants and low-maintenance solutions perfect for our region’s climate.
  • Wilder Wonders—a wilder, less structured garden filled with color and texture that is designed to provide food and shelter for birds, butterflies and bees.
  • Water Works—a working rain garden that shows how plants can take in, filter and hold water in the soil.
  • Effortless Edibles—featuring low-water edibles and aromatics that can provide lots of goodies for your table, and color for your home.

The celebration, is presented in partnership by Sacramento Suburban Water District (SSWD), Fulton-El Camino Recreation and Park District and EcoLandscape California.
