I wouldn’t so much call this a Botanical Garden as just a nice garden surrounding a college building. It really isn’t much more than a walkway going around the museum building.
If you are on campus, it is a lovely little walk. They do have benches along the way in some pretty spots for sitting. They do have lots of native desert plants (though very poorly labeled, almost no plants had a label).
I would NOT go here just for the garden. If you want to see the campus, the garden, and visit the museum, then it is worth a visit — but don’t go just to see the garden. It was not worth it.
By the way, you have to park in their small lot, go up the elevator to floor 2 and around the corner to suite 205 to get a parking pass, and then go back down to your car to put the pass in the dashboard.
