Desert Gardens by Wynn Anderson

 

The desert gardens are the work of Wynn Anderson, who began the plant scape in 1996. An authentic prayer wheel, a gift from Bhutan, was incorporated into the gardens in 2004. A meditation fountain and other works of art grace the gardens. The El Paso Native Plant Society, El Paso Master Gardeners, Americorps, and other volunteer organizations, assist with the care of the gardens and the annual FloraFest plant sale.
