::Very nice well maintained garden showing native plants from the desert. Good place to take a break. The gardens are divided in several different sections featuring different plants species . Cactus garden, native plant garden, water features and even a small hueco. The garden always looks different depending on the season.

::For a Southwestern background, I took splendid graduation portraits of my youngest there. The garden provided the most excellent aire to the surroundings I was looking for, as well as places to pose. The walking paths and nooks to visit are kept well, and everything has a welcome feel to it. The surrounding buildings make it a bit confusing to find, but that slight downfall is made up with the garden's amenities and visual appeal. Since it is free of charge you'll only have parking to worry about, and if you're dressed for the current climate, you're prepared enough for a very pleasant walk through here. Not only is the Chihuahuan Desert Garden great for short walks, but as I mentioned before, it's awesome for scenic, and picturesque backgrounds for wedding, engagement, senior pictures, and most any other Southwestern backdrop photographers and their customers might be looking for in one location. As for everyone else, taking a relaxing walk through the gardens is great for the mind and soul, and convenient to have in El Paso. Enjoy!

::This place is a botanical garden that lets you experience the different plants the the desert has to show. You may think that a desert does not have pretty plants, but this place is here to prove you wrong.
