There are grass and trees on UA campus. And not even counting the palm trees! Little known fact is it's a tree botanical garden. Look for the Monkey Puzzle and the Ginko trees. (I'm a UA College of Agricultre alumnus) Wanna know where the Bay Laurel is?

And go to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum on the west side of the Tucson Mountains for an appreciation of the desert flora and fauna. The Sonoran Desert is the lushest desert in the world because it has two rainy seasons.
