Boise Subaru's water-wise landscape project

Larry H. Miller Subaru would like to thank its partners at the Idaho Botanical Gardens and WillowGlenn Landscape for helping us bring to life

our water-wise landscape project.

Larry H. Miller Subaru is committed to being a leader in environmental initiatives while continuing to reduce our own footprint. From our Subaru’s built in our zero-waste factory, to our involvement with Idaho Botanical Garden and the World’s Center for Birds of prey- being green isn’t a trend, it’s who we are.

What is a Water-Wise landscape?

Water-Wise landscaping is a planning and gardening technique that allows you to:

• Reduce your landscape water usage by 50% to 60%
• Spend less time on garden maintenance
• Create a beautiful natural garden

How did we do it?

Our partnership with the Idaho Botanical Gardens exposed our team to the possibility of doing more to conserve water. Not only could we do more to conserve water at the dealership, we could bring in native drought tolerant plants that would enhance the appearance of the store.

Toby Mancini, the Director of Horticulture at the garden, came to Larry H. Miller Subaru. He looked at our space, understood what we wanted to accomplish, and created a plan to make it all work.

Toby then put us in contact with Jason Doran with Willowglen Landscape. Jason and his team took the Larry H. Miller Subaru vision, Toby’s plan for the space, and made it a reality. It was clear that Jason cared about the project. He and his team created a beautiful space that our employees and customers will enjoy for years to come.
