Stanford Cactus Garden by AlbuqRay
Started sometime between 1880 and 1883, you would not expect a cactus garden to be on the Stanford campus. You would think the climate is not right, but some specimens have done quite well. It is really more a garden of succulents (cacti are succulents), since many of the plants are not cacti. It is formally named the Arizona Garden and is located near the Mausoleum. The beds form the shape of a turtle.
