Water-Wise Gardens

UCNSB, in partnership with Lindley's Nursery & Garden Center, sponsors a Water-Wise Demonstration Garden in the parking lot of the UCNSB downtown New Smyrna Beach office at 200 Canal Street. It is part of our continuing efforts to encourage water conservation in the landscape.

The garden, designed and maintained by Lindley's, features over 25 plants, shrubs and trees that are well-suited for a Southeast Volusia County landscape. The plants included in the design are either native to Florida or Florida-friendly. These plants require only occasional water once established. Most are cold tolerant, have low maintenance needs and are not susceptible to insects or diseases.

We encourage all Floridians to incorporate water-wise techniques in their landscaping, and you can use the information in the attachment below for assistance in selecting plants. More information is also available at the St. Johns River Water Management District website, www.sjrwmd.org.

Plant Symbols - the plants in the Water-wise Demonstration Garden are marked with informational signs which include symbols to identify plant characteristics. Below is a key to identifying those symbols. The key is also located in the garden.
