Antelope WEL Garden Featured on "California's Water" with Huell Howser
Huell Howser visited SSWD's Antelope WEL Garden to tape a portion of the "Water Efficient Gardens in Full Bloom."
Antelope WEL Garden
SSWD's Water Efficient Landscape (WEL) garden is located at 7800 Antelope North Road, Antelope, CA. It is a botanical oasis filled with a variety of colors and
textures. It might surprise you that most of these beautiful plants are water efficient. The two-acre
garden was established in 1998 and contains numerous species of both native and drought-tolerant
plants.
The garden offers many great ideas for your own landscape plantings, plus innovative
irrigation systems to reduce water use and wasteful run off. There’s even a weather station,
designed to collect data and program the irrigation system so it automatically responds to changing
weather conditions.
Garden Tours
School and community groups, clubs, and individuals are encouraged to visit our Antelope Garden and take a self guided tour. Educational
kiosks are packed with information about water conserving landscape design. Plants are
identified by name and species.
Facility Rental for Special Events
The entire two-acre facility can be rented for private use for weddings, receptions, renuions, corporate retreats or public meetings. There is a food and beverage area, restrooms and a beautiful shady patio area. Please contact Michelle Hirt at 916.679.2891 regarding Antelope Garden rentals.
