Water Saved, Beauty Gained: Cultivating Colorful Native Flora

Are colorful gardens possible in the arid desert landscape? Come learn how to use native plants to build a garden of your dreams.

Find out which plants do well in our high, arid Chihuahuan Desert and when to plant them. Planting native plants naturally conserve water and will help you save money.

Join us and discover how to combine different design principles when planning a garden that you will love.

Bring your camera and tour the Chihuahuan Desert Gardens. There is always something in bloom!

Bonus: This event doubles as a FloraFest sneak peek! A limited selection of native plants will be for sale. Don’t miss your chance to get a head start on fall planting and support local conservation efforts.

Note: Free parking is available on the top level of the Sun Bowl Parking Garage adjacent to the bookstore.

El Paso Water and El Paso Master Gardeners have created a series of Water Conservation workshops we’ve nicknamed our GROWS talks. GROWS is an acronym for Gardening Resources Outreach Workshops and Seminars. We provide a variety of research-based talks and resources for creating healthy, water-conserving gardens.

Please note: Our summer workshop start times are at 11 a.m. for the months of June, July, and August.
