The Altadena Library District will celebrate the grand opening of its new Water Conservation Demonstration Garden on Saturday, July 9 at 10 a.m. at the Altadena Library.

The garden includes such features as a Swale (a trench that follows the contour of the landscape to capture water and alleviate runoff), a Hugelkultur (a passive water collection technique with stacked logs covered in soil), and an Infiltration Pond (to collect water and allow for water percolation).

Visitors can learn about these techniques, along with many others, including drought-tolerant plant selection that can be used in home landscaping projects.

For more information, call (626) 798-0833 or visit www.AltadenaLibrary.org.
