Description
The Xeriscape gardens are managed by ACTEW (ACT Electricity and Water) to demonstrate and encourage people to save water. This is done through mulching garden beds, reducing the need for water, composting and grouping of plants. There are native plants mixed with exotics and an earthworks area. Demonstrations of pruning roses and native plants and composting are some of the activities held regularly. These are advertised in The Canberra Times. Guided tours of the gardens are available on request.
