North Marin Water District’s New Demonstration Garden

(Posted June 25. 2025) The District would like to invite you to visit our brand new low water use Demonstration Garden located at our remodeled administration building at 999 Rush Creek Place in Novato, recently re-opened. Created to provide examples of beautiful low water use plants that thrive in our Novato climate, we hope it inspires you to choose plants for your own landscape that flourish with less water. The Demonstration Garden is drip irrigated using recycled water and rainwater, and a weather-based controller automatically adjusts the irrigation schedule based on the current conditions. Having a garden that is water-smart and beautiful is easy and the plants found in the garden are only a small sample of the possibilities for your water-wise garden. Bear with us as the plants are still a bit young, but you are welcome to come by and visit the front portion anytime.
