Seeking Desert Adapted Landscapes

Do you have a beautiful, low-water-use landscape? We would love to capture an image of it!

We are the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association (AMWUA), a nonprofit organization comprised of our ten member municipalities: Avondale, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Goodyear, Mesa, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe. For nearly half a century, we have worked to protect our members’ ability to provide assured, safe, and sustainable water supplies to their communities.

AMWUA has contracted with Dave Seibert Photography to take vivid, professional pictures of low-water-use landscapes to update and refresh the online and print resources of our popular guides: Landscape Plants for the Arizona Desert and Xeriscape: Landscaping with Style in the Arizona Desert. Dave is a fifty-year Scottsdale resident with 25 years of experience working at the Arizona Republic/azcentral.com in roles from Staff Photographer to Director of Photography and Senior Multimedia and Video Producer.

AMWUA is currently looking for a variety of well-designed, well-maintained xeriscapes to shoot and showcase. If you think you have a landscape that fits the bill, please email AMWUA’s programs assistant, Sam Jaskolski, at sjaskolski@amwua.org with your contact information, the address of the landscape, a picture, and  let us know if the landscape is in a backyard.
