Cactus and Succulents Garden (Future Concept)
Over the past thirty years, 13 of the original 23 acres have been developed into gardens and groves enjoyed by more than 100,000 visitors annually. An implementation plan has been developed by Washoe County to creatively develop the remaining 10 acres of land, including the creation of a Cactus and Succulent Garden. The goal for this 2.5-acre garden is to showcase the types of desert plants that are well-adapted to the harsh climate of Northern Nevada’s short 120-day growing season.
This brand new garden would include elements such as Succulents of the World, Zuni Bowls and a Shade Pavilion with Reflecting Basin.
With your support, this future concept can become a reality for all of Reno to enjoy. Please consider becoming a member of the May Arboretum Society, volunteering, or donating today!
