The Beauty of Water Efficiency! The following is a list of the many beautiful trees, flowers and shrubs you can find in our water efficient garden. We invite you to see the beauty of water efficiency in person by visiting our WEL Garden for a self-guided tour. It is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and is located behind the San Juan offices at 9935 Auburn Folsom Road in Granite Bay. The WEL Garden is continually updated. The following is a list of plants we hope to include when the project is complete. Some of these plants are not available at this time. For water efficient gardening resources, visit Links. |
