About this event

  • 1 hour

Walking tour led by Ryan Sharrer, City of Reno Horticulturist.

The River-Friendly Living Demonstration Garden features a rain garden and other practices residents can implement to protect the Truckee River. These techniques are designed to make the most of our Nevada desert home’s 8 annual inches of rainfall.

This is a FREE and family-friendly event.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Learn more about River-Friendly Living practices, such as  Buffer Strips, Rain Gardens, and how your home garden can help keep the Truckee River clean and beautiful.

Funded by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and Nevada Division of Environmental Protection with support from the City of Reno and Friends of Lake Park.

Organized by

One Truckee River is a nonprofit that manages a coalition of public and private partners working together to ensure a healthy, thriving, and sustainable river connected to the heart and minds of its community. Our vision is to work together to realize a Truckee River that flows clear and clean; quenches our thirst; sustains the river’s natural ecology, cultural resources and wildlife; and connects residents and visitors to unparalleled opportunities for recreation and regeneration.

The Truckee River and its 121-mile natural corridor is managed and regulated by federal, state, tribal authorities, and local agencies. One Truckee River coordinates with existing agencies' efforts and encourages collaborations to achieve the goals established by the One Truckee River Management Plan.
