Xeriscape (pronounced Zer'-i-skap) is the conservation of water and energy with water conservation in mind. The Xeriscape Learning Center and Design Garden is located at 1900 N. Chaparral. The garden serves as an extension to the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History. Entrance to the garden is free.

Why Xeriscape?

Water use in the landscape is known to increase 50 to 60 percent during summer time use. Xeriscape helps home owners and commercial facilities learn more about how water can be more efficiently used.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers help maintain the City's only demonstration garden located at the entrance of the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History. Watch CCW's social media for upcoming work days.
