Xeriscape Garden — guided tours

Xeriscape Garden is a water-saving garden, established by ActewAGL to show the Canberra community a way of gardening that will save our water resources.

The Xeriscape Garden Events Spring & Autumn program for the guest speakers and open garden weekends

After many years of staging the popular Xeriscape Garden guest-speaker and open garden weekends, this program ended in December 2007, due to the upcoming move of the CiT Weston campus to the CiT Bruce campus in 2009.

Actew Corporation has expressed it’s intention of taking a new look waterwise garden to the Canberra International Arboretum and Gardens.
