CORE MEASURES
These Core Measures are our strategic, organizational commitment to Excellence by Example:
COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Across the management of the Garden: integrated pest management, what tools we use, what fuel we use, what materials we build with.
COMMITMENT TO PLANT CONSERVATION
Support recovery planning for rare or threatened species through representation in the living plant collection.
COMMITMENT TO RESTORATION GARDENING
Take it home education. Habitat conservation at the backyard level. Over 65% of all E Paso Children's Garden demonstrates "natural' plantings, and the beauty of small, lush, predominantly native, microclimates that are possible at home.
COMMITMENT TO BE A DEMONSTRATION GARDEN FOR WATER CONSERVATION
Passive water harvesting and re-use ● Soil conservation ensuring water used is held in the soil ● On-site Water Treatment System - reclaimed water (graywater and blackwater) used for irrigation of everything but edible plants.
