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.
