Succulent Garden Plant List
Sherman Library & Gardens’ most stunning landscape, the Succulent Garden uses form, texture, and shape to a greater degree, utilizing the uniquely bold appearance of agaves, barrel cacti, euphorbias, and others to create an architecturally interesting display. Rock and hardscape provide an almost mosaic foundation for the myriad desert plants that inhabit this garden.
