Conservation Garden Park, Botanical garden in West Jordan, Utah.

Conservation Garden Park is a six-acre demonstration garden at the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District in West Jordan, Utah. It holds waterwise landscape exhibits and an Education Center built to LEED Platinum standards, opened in summer 2011. The site shows how gardens can save water in a state where 65 percent of potable water goes to landscapes.

The garden was founded to demonstrate sustainable landscaping and teach efficient water use in Utah. This founding purpose remains central to what the park does today.

The park's name comes from its role in water conservation, and its free classes, tours and garden fairs teach efficient irrigation, waterwise plant selection and low-water maintenance. A Utah-specific waterwise plant database and a blog on landscape techniques are available online. The Education Center, opened in 2011, extends the theme to energy and natural-resource conservation.

The grounds invite walking and exploration, with clear pathways through the different garden areas that are easy to navigate. Visitors should expect to see different things depending on the season, so visiting at different times of year offers different experiences.

The Education Center, finished in summer 2011, was built to LEED Platinum standards and shows environmental building technologies, extending the garden's theme from water savings to energy and natural-resource conservation. Entry to both the gardens and the center is free.
