A xeric demonstration garden showcasing desert-adapted plants, cacti, succulents and waterwise landscapes with views toward the Organ Mountains. Great for texture, botanical detail and wide compositional shots of planned plantings and pathways. Best at golden hours and in spring bloom or after monsoon showers; weekday mornings offer low crowds. On NMSU property—typically free entry with on-site parking; check seasonal hours. Paths are mostly accessible; bring sun protection and water.
