The Southwestern Garden is set off by a low
stucco wall. You will enter the garden across a rustic wooden bridge over a dry
stream bed that leads into a garden containing cacti, succulents and flowers of various
tones of yellow, red and orange. Florida fieldstone is used as edging for the plant
beds and walk that lead to a shaded seating area and hidden entry into the next garden.
