Conservation Gardens Fair

June 13, 2026, 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

Northern Water’s annual Conservation Gardens Fair is a fun and family-friendly Berthoud community tradition that provides education about Front Range focused landscaping and irrigation trends, as well as the latest updates on Northern Water’s projects and programs. 

Free and open to the public, activities for the day include educational landscape talks, demonstrations of irrigation technologies, kid-friendly games, informational booths, local food trucks, giveaways and more. Guests can roam the gardens to view examples of plants, trees and grasses to learn how to conserve water in your landscaping and understand ways to increase water efficiency at home without sacrificing curb appeal.  

Prepare for the summer heat by wearing a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and UPF protective clothing and bringing a refillable water bottle. Due to the amount of foot traffic anticipated, please leave your furry friends at home (with the exception of service dogs).
