The UnH2O Demonstration Garden was established by OXA in September 2009. After a decade and a half, it is now time for a ReFresh! We would like to bring the seven themed gardens back to their full potential with updated informative signage, new varieties and cultivars to replace 15-year-old perennials, and updated irrigation systems to help with maintenance during the crucial first year of new growth and to conserve water thereafter.

VOLUNTEERS

OXA relies on volunteers to help promote xeriscape gardening in the Okanagan. Through education, demonstration gardens, and community events, we inspire people to Garden with Nature and we need your help.

We are so grateful for the energy, creativity, and care our volunteers bring to everything we do. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or a curious beginner, there’s a place for you here.

Come be part of it– help maintain our gardens, prepare for plant sales, support our events, and outreach. However you get involved, you’ll make a meaningful difference and connect with a great group of people.
