Rich with life, the Chihuahuan Desert supports thousands of plant species and an astonishing variety of animals, many found nowhere else. By choosing native plants in our landscapes, we help protect this remarkable web of life while creating beautiful, water-wise gardens that support wildlife facing climate and development pressures.

Dr. Kevin Floyd is the Botanical Curator at the Chihuahuan Desert Gardens at UTEP.  He is passionate about helping everyone embrace the beauty and benefits of native plants.
