While visiting Arts HQ Gallery and The City of Surprise Art Gallery I came across The Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. While it is still under some construction it was still a great site to see. I originally walked over to get a better look at the beautiful metal art display of a tree. Once closer it is so much more with intricate details using items like a water canister and such. I walked over at the perfect time to even capture a bird enjoying its "branches". The City of Surprise follows suit with Glendale, Chandler and Tempe among others to promote responsible and sustainable water use. Once complete this location will function as a host to events with a built in amphitheater while also helping to teach appropriate landscape maintenance and water practices with both tours and self guided materials. read more
