Interspersed with art installations, these small gardens (visitsfbg.org; adult/child $13/8) at Museum Hill are currently made up of two sections: the landscaped area, where you'll find some unusual varieties of Southwestern plants, and the child-friendly Manos y Ojos area, with exhibits on cuisine, fibers, healing and the like.
Installations focus on the crops that grow in New Mexico’s semi-arid landscape, with a pathway leading along an hour-long trail with 35 points of interest, including a rose and lavender walk, Geod Orchard Garden and Xeric Garden (with plants that need little water to survive). In winter, spot blue-green conifers and agaves. In spring, enjoy the apricot and crab-apple trees. In summer, spot hummingbirds from a shady bench and in fall, the garden harvests veggies from the terraces.
