Fun, Informative and Practical!

Each year, Thornton Water hosts several free events and webinars 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 Margaret Carpenter Recreation Center and Thornton Fire Station 5. Each location provides great examples of water-wise gardens and are available to help you get ideas for your own outdoor space. We hope to see you in the garden this year!

2026 Water-Wise Garden Tour

Thank you to all who attended our first official water-wise garden tour! More than 100 residents joined us to explore beautiful residential water-wise gardens and low-water landscapes across Thornton at a reimagined version of our annual Water-Wise Garden Open House. Seasons pros from Thornton Water and other industry partners were available to discuss gardening maintenance and best practices during drought and help participants learn how to transform a section of their yard on a budget. We look forward to seeing you next time!
