A worker at the 1992 show gingerly moved one of the 700 cacti shipped from the Southwest for that year's desert garden central feature. Giant cacti and yuccas were transported over 1,000 miles in heated trucks, wrapped in protective foam, placed on large slings with braces and splints to keep the plants protected. Robert W. Montgomery Landscape Nursery's exhibit took three years to plan and 75 people to execute it.
