Community Some of our favorites! fold in under Demonstration Garden Can you find them 1 US Post Office Can you find them 890 Landers Lane, Landers CA in the garden? This stunning, water-wise demonstration garden in the heart of Landers had for years been a narrow, barren dirt easement separating the Post Office parking lot from the adjacent roadway. The completed project is the result of leadership from Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency, grant funds from the Mojave Water Agency’s Alliance for Water Awareness and Conservation, and a design concept from Mike Branning of Unique Garden Center. The project began in 2013 with fill dirt from Yucca Valley’s Super Walmart construction site. Then #29 two large Joshua trees were relocated from the Senior Housing #12 Project in Yucca Valley, and the rocks were harvested from the County landfill nearby. The dry wash element is lined with rusted cans reclaimed from the desert. The Landers Garden Club and volunteers from the 29 Palms Marine Base and throughout Landers pitched in to install the drip irrigation WelcomeWelcome toto system and to finish planting a wide variety of drought-tolerant plants and shrubs. Bighorn-DesertBighorn-Desert Over the years, several varieties of native flowering plants have #57 found their way into the garden. Unfortunately, the “Walmart” ViewView WaterWater AgencyAgency Joshua Trees did not survive. However, a keen eye will note a #42 number of “baby” Joshua trees have volunteered to rise up in DemonstrationDemonstration GardenGarden their place!

In 2017, the Agency relocated two Joshua Trees from the wastewater project in Yucca Valley hoping this second transplanting will be a success. #58 This garden stands out for its beauty and as a source of community pride. The garden is also maintained by volunteers, primarily local resident Mr. J. Dennis Staley. #63
