On behalf of The Water Conservation Garden board, staff, and volunteers, I am writing to share an important update about our garden. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary this year, we will be undergoing major structural changes. While we work through these changes, The Water Conservation Garden will be closed to the public starting Friday, February 16, 2024. A reopening date will be announced in the future. We appreciate your understanding during this transitional phase. The Garden is committed to reopening and continuing its mission to educate and inspire the community to promote water conservation. We look forward to welcoming you back soon with a renewed and thriving Water Conservation Garden experience! Sincerely, Lauren Magnuson Interim Executive Director
