Herb Fong - Stanford Grounds and the Arizona Garden Herb Fong is the Head Gardener for Stanford University. He earned a masters degree in horticulture at U.C. Davis and has been tending the gardens at Stanford for the past 24 years. The Arizona Garden was originally designed by Rudolph Ulrich for the Stanford family in the early 1880's. In 1891 when Stanford University was founded, this garden became part of the campus landscaping. The Arizona Garden was regularly tended until the 1920's. Neglected, many plants died or became overgrown with other vegetation. In the 1990's, volunteers from the San Francisco Succulent and Cactus Society and from the university staff began restoration efforts. Plants of the Month for September:
