Discover Sustainable Landscaping at the 32nd Annual Water-Wise Landscape Tour
Join Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026, for the 32nd Annual Water-Wise Landscape Tour from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the White Rock Pump Station, located at 2900 White Rock Road. As one of the longest-standing conservation initiatives by DWU, the event underscores the city’s dedication to promoting sustainable landscaping practices that conserve water.
Attendees will have the opportunity to explore residential gardens showcasing innovative water conservation techniques such as drip irrigation, rain barrels, soaker hoses, and composting systems. These gardens also feature native and climate-adapted plants that flourish in North Texas, providing practical inspiration for attractive and water-efficient landscapes. Maps for the tour will be available at the White Rock Pump Station.
The showcased gardens will display a diverse array of native and climate-adapted flora, including salvias, Texas sage, Turk’s cap, Gregg’s mistflower, lantana, red yucca, Texas mountain laurel, and black-eyed Susans.
Beyond the garden tours, DWU is hosting educational and interactive activities at the White Rock Pump Station from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Visitors can engage in free activities such as arts and crafts, visit irrigation booths staffed by conservation experts, participate in a seed ball-making activity, and compete in a trivia contest to win native shrubs and plants.
