Botanical Garden at Museum Hill The Santa Fe Botanical Garden at Museum Hill was built to refl ect and celebrate the rich botanical and cultural history of Northern New Mexico. Designed by nationally renowned landscape architect, W. Gary Smith, plants were chosen for their ability to thrive in this semi-arid environment.

The centerpiece of the Orchard Gardens is the mixed fruit orchard, including trees chosen for successful fruit production. Ojos y Manos: Eyes and Hands garden tells the stories of the interdependence of plants and people in and around Santa Fe. Along the pathways you will discover a rich tapestry of native fl ora, perennials, lavender, roses, and many other plants suitable for a Santa Fe garden.

Fulfi lling our mission of public education, a wealth of information about plants, climate change, and water catchment is provided throughout the Botanical Garden.

Having opened its gates in 2013, Santa Fe Botanical Garden at Museum Hill is a work in progress. Two gardens are currently open to the public and additional expansion is underway. Come back to visit soon, and enjoy watching our exponential growth over the coming years.

The Botanical Garden spans the Arroyo de Los Pinos and is one of fi ve cultural institutions on Museum Hill. Visit the Leonora Curtin Wetland Preserve, our property south of Santa Fe, to explore a rare natural cienega.

Ojos y Manos: Eyes & HandsThe plants and people of our region are the foundation of this ethnobotanical garden. Plants were chosen due to their importance to native Pueblo and later Spanish communities. Knowledge from these cultures lives today in local artists, farmers, cooks, and artisans, and they tell their stories throughout the space.

The Gathering Place: Pass between two grassy mounds and enter the heart of Ojos y Manos. This central space is designed as a location where groups can meet for celebrations, performances, and ceremonies, surrounded by terraces fi lled with edible crops.

Fibers & Weaving: Plants related to the rich tradition of weaving and dyeing surround you as you relax in these sheltered seating areas. From cloth to color, the leaves, stems, and roots of plants can provide the essentials of fashion and art.

Herbs & Healing: Many of the medicines on the market today emerged from indigenous herbal wisdom. Local healers with a deep understanding of the medicinal fl ora continue to use the plants grown in this area of the garden.

Wood & Carving: The trees and shrubs highlighted along the west side of Ojos y Manos provide shelter, tools, fuel, and art materials to residents of Northern New Mexico.

Horno Plaza, Crops & Cooking: Watch food grow in the terraces that surround the Gathering Place and explore how this food is prepared and cooked in the Horno Plaza.

Outdoor Classrooms & Exploration Places: These cozy spaces were designed to encourage visitors of all ages to explore the natural environment and our connection to plants through hands-on activities.

Orchard GardensThe Orchard Gardens feature spaces that combine horticultural and architectural elements. Plants were selected for their beauty and ability to thrive in the Santa Fe landscape.

Welcome Garden: A dramatic gateway adorned with fragrant honeysuckle leads visitors into the Welcome Garden. Bancos and benches provide a place to enjoy the sound of running water and views of plants adapted to an arid environment.

La Rambla & Meadow Garden: La Rambla, a meandering rock channel slows the fl ow of rainwater, maximizing the infi ltration of water to nourish plants. Featuring a broad, shallow, grassy bowl designed to collect rainwater, the Meadow Garden features mostly native plants and wildfl owers for dramatic seasonal interest. Candyce Garrett’s sculpture “Emergence” provides a focal point.

Art Trail: Discover a new perspective at the Botanical Garden by exploring the Art Trail. Changing displays of sculpture and site-specifi c works are located along the Trail and in other locations within the Garden. Naturalistic plantings compliment the art.

Orchard & Perennial Borders: A collection of fruit trees suitable for Santa Fe gardens and a stylized meadow of grasses and wildfl owers create the romantic feeling of an abandoned orchard. The North and South Ramadas offer shaded benches from which you can view the Orchard and the surrounding perennial and rose garden.

Xeric Garden: This dry garden relies on rainwater and features a sophisticated plant palette with dramatic textures, forms, and colors echoing the Santa Fe landscape.

Kearny’s Gap Bridge: Abandoned on a ranch outside Las Vegas, NM, this bridge was restored and installed as the fi rst permanent element of the new Botanical Garden in 2011.
