This botanic garden featuring Cactus,
Agave and Yuccas, as well as other plants typical of the southwestern
U.S., is currently in the design phase, as experiments are being
conducted to test the survivability of such plants in central Virginia.
Although these plants are typically
found in climates with mild winters and little rainfall, a few
species are able to survive outdoors year-round in the cold, wet
winters of central Virginia (USDA hardiness Zone 7) where typical
winter lows are 5° and average monthly rainfall is 4 inches, year
round.
Specimens currently being grown and
evaluated have been obtained from plants grown outdoors in the states
of Arizona, New Mexico and – surprisingly – Nevada, Utah,
Washington state and Maryland.
At this time, Cactusland still has a few 2022 "Cactusland: The Thorniest Place in the East" calendars
for sale. Please inquire
by email for availability and prices.
