WMG’s Living Lab and Learning Center is our premier demonstration site for various water harvesting strategies and sustainable living practices for arid landscape living. We meet almost 100% of our water needs with rainwater, greywater, and stormwater and grow a lush array of native Sonoran Desert plants.
On this special Living Lab tour, you will learn about the importance of planting native trees, shrubs and flowering plants in bringing native pollinators and birds into your yard. In additional to gaining knowledge about how to identify common invasive plants that harm our landscapes, you'll learn how to build habitat that will attract beautiful and intriguing creatures around your home. Presenters will share information about the elements of healthy habitat for pollinators, including birds, bats, and insects.
Bring the kids to enjoy the Raindrop Retreat – a children’s playhouse featuring a rain tank, play kitchen with greywater, and sandbox.
The tour takes place outside, so be prepared to be standing and/or walking for over an hour and in all weather.
