Enhancing Visitor Experience at the Chihuahuan Desert Gardens

The Chihuahuan Desert Gardens are a hidden gem at UTEP. They are a place for the community to relax, study, and learn about native plants. However, the gardens currently lack Wi-Fi access that would enhance visitors' ability to fully use the space.

With your support, the Chihuahuan Desert Gardens will be able to:

Install Wi-Fi throughout the gardens to improve the visitor experience
Provide visitors with easy access to the newly redesigned website for the gardens, which will help visitors identify plants and learn more about them
Create an environment in which UTEP faculty and staff can comfortably spend time with access to internet

Thank you for your support!
