By using water-efficient gardening techniques, you can create a beautiful garden while cutting landscape water use 20% to 80%. Whether you are planting a new landscape or renovating an established one, the City can help you with a water-wise landscape design.

We have set up computer stations at the Development Services Center that are loaded with Water-Wise Gardening for Santa Clara County software. You can use this software to get water-wise design ideas for your landscaping project.

Visit outstanding gardens, view landscape photos, and get detailed descriptions for more than 1,000 plants. You can also create a printable plant list that you can take with you to your local nursery.

Come to the Development Services Center located at 17575 Peak Ave. and take advantage of this free resource. We are open Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm. While there, be sure to visit our Demonstration Garden at City Hall which displays drought tolerant, native California plants and compatible hardscape materials. Click here for more details.
