Why We Exist

At the heart of the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District's (JVWCD) commitment to responsible water stewardship lies Conservation Garden Park—a living testament to JVWCD's dedication to sustainable resource management. At Conservation Garden Park, we model the efficient use of water in Utah landscapes and empower communities to make the most of our shared water resources. Here you learn how simple changes can result in big water savings. More than 60% of all the water delivered by JVWCD is used on outdoor landscaping. JVWCD recognized the need for waterwise landscaping across the Wasatch Front in the late 1990s and opened the Demonstration Garden in 2000, later expanding to Conservation Garden Park in 2011. Rooted in the understanding that water resources are both precious and finite, Conservation Garden Park not only features aesthetically pleasing and easily maintainable landscapes but also serves as an educational hub. JVWCD's Conservation Garden Park plays a pivotal role in shaping a community that values and maximizes the efficiency of our shared water resources.
