After 34 years of administrative service at UTEP, Wynn retired to half-time duties in 1999 to devote more time to the continued development of the Chihuahuan Desert Gardens at the Centennial Museum. Having guided a 10-year fund raising effort and the design and construction of the gardens to the successful opening of the facility in September 1999, he now serves as the Museum's Botanical Curator.
He also is an integral part of the Museum's SunSCAPE program. The program, which promotes living in harmony with our desert surroundings, consists of a weekly radio program on KTEP, national public radio for the Southwest, and of a course in "using native plants and gardening in harmony with the desert in your landscape". SunSCAPE. When not leading tours, giving lectures, or writing articles about native plants of the Chihuahuan Desert region and their landscape applications, Wynn can be found happily working in the Gardens and answering visitors' questions.
