25th Anniversary WaterWise Landscape Tour


The 25th anniversary Waterwise Landscape and Community Garden Tour is hosted by Dallas Water Utilities and Dallas Evnviromental Quality and Sustainability on October 26, 2019 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

We are pulling out all the stops this year to celebrate this milestone with ten private homes, who are Dallas Water Utility customers, on the tour community gardens are returning as well. There will be educational mini-talks at some of the homes.

Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of this wonderful Dallas event is exciting and we hope that you will join the festivities!
