Arizona Cactus Garden, Historic botanical garden at Stanford University, California.
The garden contains 500 species of cacti and succulents arranged in sections representing Eastern and Western hemisphere plant collections.
The garden was established between 1880 and 1883 by landscape architect Rudolph Ulrich for Jane and Leland Stanford's estate grounds.
The restoration project initiated in 1997 maintains the garden's historical layout while preserving original specimens from the 19th century installation.
Located on Stanford University campus, this garden remains open daily without admission fees and presents numerous specimens without identification labels.
Ten to fifteen percent of the current garden contains plants from the initial 1880s installation, demonstrating the longevity of desert specimens.
