In between the rich valleys of Okanagan, you will find beautiful and colorful fields of flowers. You will also find wine grapes as well as a mixture of other fruits. These fields of flora are balanced perfectly with the lakes and rivers in the area. If you take a trip to the southernmost point of the region, you can learn about all of the endangered flora and fauna in the area.
It is important to keep in mind that Okanagan has a very dry climate. This makes preserving water important if you are going to manage a garden. There are lots of beautiful gardens in Okanagan, so there is no reason why you could not have one if you wanted one too.
The Xeriscape Gardens
Xeriscape Gardens are some of the most water-efficient gardens in all of Okanagan. Summerland Ornamental Gardens, for example, is just 15 minutes to the south of Summerland. It is a beautiful garden with a breathtaking view of natural pieces of beauty including the Trout Creek Bridge, the Giant's Head Mountain, and Okanagan Lake.
