FOOTPRINT 2: WATER EFFICIENCY

To help maintain sustainability for our future generations we operate a highly efficient and self-reliant water recycling programme:

• Our 3.5 million gallon reservoir has been helping reduce our impact on the environment since we built it in 1976.

• All rain and run off water from throughout the Centre is collected in the reservoir.

• Water in the reservoir is filtered and re-used for watering the plants on our growing nurseries and plant area.
