Watershed Management Group is excited to announce this year’s Desert Living Home Tour! We’re teaming up with community partners throughout Tucson and the Phoenix Valley to show off creative and sustainable yards, homes, and community spaces for all experience levels and budgets in Tucson and the Phoenix Valley. 

In the face of the Colorado River shortage, there’s never been a better time to see water and energy-saving systems up close and to learn how to apply them yourself.  Join this self-paced tour to experience desert homes that harvest rainwater and greywater, use solar energy, grow food, reduce Colorado River demand, and are examples of the hopeful hydro-local future we all want to see!

Tickets are $20, with sliding scale tickets available for limited-income community members. You can choose to join this year's tour in person in the Greater Tucson Area or the Phoenix Valley. Registration also includes access to short, guided video walkthroughs of even more homes and community spaces.

Regardless of your experience level or budget, this tour will show design features that are accessible to you!

We hope you’ll join us to celebrate desert living, learn about designing for resilience in the desert, and leave inspired to reduce your energy and water use at home.
