Water Is Awesome

City of Dallas (Dallas), North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) and Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) have teamed up on a regional water conservation campaign to increase the adoption of water saving behaviors, reduce water waste and promote the importance of water and the value it provides in our communities. The plants in this giveaway were used in the 2022 Water is Awesome video, Water Neighborly. The plants came from Texas Discovery Gardens, a non-profit native garden and butterfly house in Dallas, Texas.
