Xeriscape (pronounced Zer’-i-skap) is the conservation of water and energy with water conservation in mind. The Xeriscape Learning Center and Design Garden is located at 1900 N. Chaparral. The garden serves as an extension to the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History. Entrance to the garden is free. For information, call the City of Corpus Christi Water Hotline at (361) 826-1600.
The concept of Xeriscape was developed by the Denver Water Department during the early 1980’s to promote water conservation during a critical drought period. The word Xeriscape has become an international term, as countless cities promote the use of Xeriscape to help curb water use and to extend limited water resources.
NMG volunteer for workdays to provide upkeep and participate in occasional training sessions.
