Our Desert Room can transport you to Arizona, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, and Madagascar with its 300 species of cacti and succulent plants from all over the world. Although not all of them originate in year-round arid environments, they have the common ability to store water in their leaves, stems, and/or roots and limit their evaporative loss. These properties enable them to survive (and even thrive!) despite prolonged periods of drought and heat. In all of them, evolutionary adaptations have resulted in plants and flowers with unusual shapes and appearances, which most admirers find to be fascinating, beautiful, and “cool.”

Come see them for yourself!
