Acton Water District's
Water Wise  Demonstration Garden

[Plant List]

The Acton Water District invites you to visit our new water-wise garden, located in front of the District’s office on 693 Massachusetts Avenue in West Acton. The garden is the Gold Badge project of Kathleen Niple, a Girl Scout with Acton Troop 2001. Kathleen designed the garden with water conservation in mind, using drought-resistant plants, organic mulches, and water-wise design principles. Kathleen worked with the Acton Garden Club, who provided consultation and donated plants for the garden, as did several Acton Nurseries. We hope the garden encourages Acton residents to replace their water-thirsty lawns with attractive, conserving, and low-maintenance gardens. Please stop by the Water District’s Office for instructions on how to plan and plant a water-wise garden in your yard.
