The Aurora Municipal Center (AMC) Xeriscape Garden is a high plains garden made up of ten acres of rolling hills and beautiful plants. The garden is located at the northwest corner of Alameda Parkway and Chambers Road, and is open from dawn until dusk daily.Built in 2002 to serve as an example of low-water use landscaping, the garden includes a variety of plants clearly labeled so visitors can take ideas home and use them in their own yard. Signs also explain the seven principles of xeriscape. The garden requires very little water and, when irrigated, is watered with reclaimed water (nonpotable water) from Aurora’s Sand Creek Wastewater Reclamation Plant.Nonpotable water is water that has been treated at a treatment plant, but is not suitable for drinking water. The majority of the city’s parks, golf courses, and open space are irrigated with nonpotable water. Nonpotable water does not impact the city’s drinking water supply.
