The University of Arizona: Old Main – Desert Landscaping for the 21st Century

What makes the Old Main building so important?

It’s the first building on the University of Arizona campus and has been a place of education and learning for over 130 years. But it’s also the site of beautiful and water-wise landscaping, combining the best of desert and adapted trees and plants with water conservation practices suitable for our hot and dry climate. Join us to see how it’s done and learn how you can use these plants and practices at home.

Tour starts at the Berger Memorial Fountain on the west side of the Old Main Building
