Do have a good look around the website– we provide a lot of information on xeriscape gardening in the Okanagan and our Plant Database is an amazing resource. We hope you will also visit our UnH2O Demonstration Garden in person throughout the year– such a great way to see xeriscape in action and see what specific plants look like each season.

Again, we thank you for joining us!

The Okanagan Xeriscape Association is a not-for-profit organization formed in 2009 to provide information on gardening with nature, or xeriscape, for those living in the Okanagan.
