About the OXA

The Okanagan Xeriscape Association (OXA)
is a not-for-profit organization formed in 2009 to provide xeriscape information for the Okanagan.

The OXA offers hands-on xeriscape workshops, classroom education, public xeriscape demonstrations, web libraries, and a searchable on-line plant database - all of which provide residents with the tools they need to create xeriscaped yards, communities, and places of work.

The vision of the OXA is for xeriscape gardening to become a desired and accepted norm in the Okanagan.

Gwen Steele is the Executive Director for the Okanagan Xeriscape Association which is governed by a volunteer board of four directors: Melodie Hope- President, Lisa Masini- Vice President and Project Director, Oksana Fodor- Treasurer, Judie Steeves– Secretary.
