The Water Conservation Garden: demonstrates a xeriscape garden containing a wealth of plants that, once established, use little water and are both people- and wildlife-friendly.
Four Seasons Garden: great for strolling or quiet contemplation and has hundreds of iris, daylilies, and chrysanthemum varieties.
