UNLV Arboretum, Botanical garden at University of Nevada Las Vegas, US.
The UNLV Arboretum extends across 80 acres of landscaped grounds within the 335-acre campus, featuring trees, shrubs, and specialized plant collections.
The Nevada Legislature established this botanical collection in 1985, leading to its development as a center for studying plants suited to high desert conditions.
The gardens integrate desert landscaping principles through the two-acre Xeric Garden, which displays plants from arid regions across multiple continents.
Visitors can access the arboretum every day of the week and request guided tours through the Grounds department to learn about the 4,000 individual trees.
The collection includes ten Champion Trees, which hold state records for their size, while maintaining a 25 percent reduction in water usage since 2003.
