Our Take
The Fabian Garcia Science Center's demonstration garden is a rare place where water-wise xeriscape design actually looks beautiful, not utilitarian — the plantings teach and inspire at the same time. It's the kind of under-the-radar stop that gardeners and curious wanderers will love, even if it doesn't have the drama of a destination garden.
