Desert Garden
Succulents and drought-resistant plants from around the world.
The Desert Garden was established on Park Blvd in 1976 and contains more than 1,300 plants, including succulents and drought-resistant plants from around the world, within its 2.5 acres.
The peak blooming period is January through March; however, these plants are interesting at any time of year because of their unusual shapes.
Events
There's always something new to experience at the Park! Check out the festivals, tours, concerts, and events scheduled all year long.
