A new public garden is growing in Joshua Tree
You can probably name 10 animals. But can you name 10 native plants? If not, then this desert demonstration garden is for you. A former parking lot at MDLT’s headquarters is being transformed into a native plant interpretive garden that will be open and accessible to public. The plans for the space include 10 themed gardens with interpretative signage and water-wise irrigation, seating areas, and a meeting space.
