Arid Collection

47

Species

2012

Established

​​​From arid regions around the world – Madagascar to Mexico and the deserts of Namaqualand in southwest Africa – this collection displays a remarkable diversity of shape and colour. 

These striking plants have been chosen for minimal water use and their natural resilience to the impacts of climate change, such as lower rainfall averages and fluctuating temperatures.
