LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico State University has been awarded a grant that will go toward building the only botanic garden within 100 miles (160 kilometers) of the southern New Mexico campus.

The garden will be used to grow and study plants native to New Mexico and the Chihuahuan Desert that might attract bees and other pollinators.
