Visitors who come to The Living Desert in the early morning are in for some delightful surprises! In the cool of the morning, most of the animals on exhibit are at their peak activity. Playing, some eating breakfast, catching the wind for the scent of other nearby animals, stretching and prowling. As the day warms up, so do the birds of prey, fanning out their huge marvelous wings to the sun. The tortoises and lizards come out of their hiding places to feel the gentle warmth. Warthogs and javelinas rout and romp in the morning hours, contentedly grunting during nap time in the midday sun. Meerkats seem to play all afternoon, each taking a turn being the lookout, while the others scamper about. Late afternoon is the wake up call to nocturnal creatures. The cheetahs often climb to the top of their ridge and majestically watch the sun set.

The Gardens

The gardens at The Living Desert showcase the diversity of forms adopted by plants found growing in the harsh conditions typical of the world’s deserts.

Over 1,400 different species of plants are represented in the many gardens that constitute The Living Desert’s plant collection.

At this time the majority of the plant collection represents the arid regions of North America and Africa.

Future projects will involve the deserts of Australia and South America.

Trial evaluations to determine horticultural merit of plants found in desert regions but not typically found in the nursery trade are ongoing.

The plant collection constitutes an ex situ source of germplasm available for propagation and/or research.

The individual gardens generally fall into one of four categories; Geographic, Taxonomic, Interpretative and Display.
