Summerland Research Station Xeriscape and Ornamental Gardens
off Highway 97 south of Summerland
An extensive xeriscape test site was planted in the early 1990’s using natives, common garden plants and many varieties introduced from Colorado and New Mexico. Due to a lack of funding for maintenance, the site was overgrown by Gypsophila paniculata (Common Baby’s Breath), an ornamental that has become a noxious weed in the South Okanagan. It has been partially restored. A xeriscape display garden was planted in 2001.
