Demonstration Garden

In 2018, the SCSS created a succulent demonstration garden at the Shepard Garden & Arts Center. The garden was expanded in 2023 and now features over 100 specimens. The goal of the garden is to showcase water-wise plants in residential and public landscaping.

The SCSS demonstration garden is along the front of the Shepard Garden & Arts Center along McKinley Blvd.

Here are some photos of the SCSS Demonstration Garden:
