Northern Water’s award-winning Conservation Gardens span several acres of the Berthoud headquarters campus to provide public education on various plants, turf and conservation techniques that can achieve water savings in landscapes. Overall, guests to the gardens will discover efficient irrigation methods and see more than 700 plants and 60 turf grasses that thrive in Colorado’s semiarid climate. The gardens include various demonstration areas for native and alternative grasses, irrigation technologies, soil preparation and a xeriscape plaza that highlights several Colorado-friendly landscaping themes. The demonstrations are a great resource for the public to study and implement in their personal landscapes.
