Xeric gardens at University of Nevada
In the Muttart Conservatory, the desert pyramid is my favourite. The arid climate, alien-like vegetation and interesting fauna are infinitely interesting to me. With this in mind, I visited the small xeric garden on the University of Nevada (Las Vegas) campus.
The garden is part of a larger system on the campus, one which I saw many gardeners trimming and watering while there. This part in particular is next to the Marjorie Barrick Natural History museum, so I also popped in to visit that. (The page has a link to a self guided tour you can take of the campus’ gardens.)
Here are some favourite photos, but I also embedded a gallery below them.
Inside the museum, there was a section dedicated to Mexican masks and Day of the Dead artifacts. These guys were part of that display. It was a beautiful museum…and entrance fee was donation based.
