Historical Context:

Since the establishment of the cactus garden, the campus landscape has evolved. Many landscape styles are represented throughout campus, each demonstrating increasing awareness for natural resource conservation. Plants from all over the world have been chosen as trials for the Sonoran Desert. We see several trees flanking the South side of University Avenue that reflect period plantings.
