Conservation Garden Fair Returns in June 2025

Saturday, June 28, 2025, 9 a.m.-2 p.m.

After a five-year hiatus, Northern Water is thrilled to bring back the Conservation Gardens Fair and host the community at our newly renovated Conservation Campus. We recently wrapped up Phase II of the Berthoud Campus Development project, which consisted of the expansion and renovation of the main administration building, new water-efficient garden demonstrations and an education pavilion.

Free and open to the public, this event features an opportunity to learn about Northern Water and what our organization does throughout the region to deliver and protect our water supplies. In addition, take part in educational seminars, demonstrations of irrigation technologies, fun and engaging kid-friendly activities, informational booths, food trucks, giveaways and more. Throughout the day, roam the gardens to view examples of plants, trees and grasses to learn how to conserve water in your landscaping and understand ways to increase water efficiency at home without sacrificing curb appeal.
