About Landscape Demonstration Garden - Fabian Garcia Science Center and their Wedding Venues services in Las Cruces

The Landscape Demonstration Garden is part of the Fabian Garcia Science Center at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. This landscaped botanical garden combines cultivated vegetation with outdoor areas suited for ceremonies and photo sessions.

Its centerpiece gazebo is surrounded by gardens that provide natural backdrop and shade during celebrations. The nearby experimental chile gardens add a regional touch that many couples incorporate into their wedding photography.

Reviews of Landscape Demonstration Garden - Fabian Garcia Science Center

Visitors consistently praise the garden's beauty and peaceful atmosphere. The gazebo and chile gardens stand out as natural settings for outdoor ceremonies and photos.

Key strength: the mix of open-air botanical garden and covered outdoor space. To note: as a public space on the university campus, reservations require coordination with NMSU.

Best suits small to medium outdoor weddings where a natural garden setting and gazebo are central to the celebration.

UPDATE: OPEN AGAIN. This is our only botanical garden. It has a gazebo and some benches, two picnic tables and many plants. I have seen quite a few people having engagement photo shoots there. The chile experimental gardens are next to it.

I am very happy to live near such a beautiful public botanical garden. I go to walk around and take pictures to draw from. I feel so lucky to be able to learn from such bosses of agriculture and specifically how things work well here. Now gardening is something I do almost every day. I am not great …at it in any capacity, but I think I really am learning!

Absolutely beautiful, what a gem! The garden was so inspiring and peaceful and the Chiles made my mouth water. They were so beautiful. Thank you NMSU for sharing nature's wonders.
