Renovation Details

Renovations to the Center for Desert Living Trail will be completed this summer with the addition of an Edible Garden raised bed and upgrades to lighting. The Edible Garden is the core of the trail’s objective and will include a raised bed structure made of recycled concrete and an attractive shade system to provide the proper amount of sun or shade for plants to thrive. Additional improvements to the trail will include a separate display on patio gardening and new interpretive signage to be installed in September.

The trail will reopen at the end of construction in early August. Additional plants will be added through October. Completion of all components is anticipated for early November.
