The Interesting Xeric Garden at the University
The University of Nevada Las Vegas Arboretum was established in May 1985. Over 80 acres of land are landscaped with trees, shrubs, and turf including the interesting two acre Xeric Garden. Their mission is to display mature plant materials considered appropriate for high desert conditions. The visitors can take a tour leisurely, any time or day of the week.
The Xeric Garden is located at the entrance to the Barrick Museum. The garden is an example of how drought-tolerant plant and water efficient irrigation systems may be allied to conserve water. The result of this combination will create an attractive landscape.
