Rock Garden
This garden was donated by the MacDonald family nearly 30 years ago. It consists of native and sustainable adaptive plant species suitable for our environment such as mountain mahogany, apache plume, donkey tail spurge, Mormon tea, sedums, oragano species and fern bush. Many of the plants have matured and drape over the small garden paths evoking a sense of seclusion in an uninhabited area of the Great Basin. Numerous varieties are situated in a low water regime section of the garden.
