The Chihuahuan Desert Botanical Gardens, part of the University of Texas at El Paso, is a dedicated space showcasing the unique flora of the Chihuahuan Desert and adjacent regions in the United States and Mexico. This botanical garden serves both the local community and visitors, offering a glimpse into the diverse plant life native to this arid landscape.
In addition to the gardens, the Centennial Museum, the oldest museum in El Paso, features a vast permanent collection of over 70,000 objects, ranging from dinosaur bones to 20th-century luxury items. The Lhakhang, a hand-carved and hand-painted structure gifted from Bhutan, further enriches the cultural offerings of the museum and gardens.
