FUN, INFORMATIVE AND PRACTICAL!
Each year, Thornton Water hosts several free events to connect you with tools and resources to enhance water efficiency in your yard, garden, and home. As always, we invite you to stroll through our Demonstration Gardens at the Margret Carpenter Recreation Center and Thornton Fire Station 5. Each location provides great examples of xeric gardens and are available to help you get ideas for your own outdoor space. We hope to see you in the garden this year!
