A place worth remembering

UNAM’s Crassulaceae collection is located in a natural hollow that the garden calls “la olla”.[1]
A pond network for aquatic plants
A visitor meets this collection at several points around the grounds: it is divided among 18 ponds, with emphasis on aquatic plants native to the Valley of Mexico basin.[1]
A rocky setting for plant–pollinator links
The Interactions Garden pairs a volcanic-rock mound with shrubs and herbs that offer nectar or pollen. UNAM describes the planting as a way to attract pollinators while showing central Mexico’s native flora.[1]
