A cactus forest?

[MobileSuitSonic]

I have an idea involving a castle in a desert surrounded by a forest of cacti. The idea is that a century ago, it was magically seeded in response to a prediction. Many people tried to navigate that labyrinth over the decades, but if they didn't get sliced up by the thorns in tandem with exhaustion from the intense heat, random enemy encounters would wear them down first.

May question is what would be the best approach to realizing this concept?
On one hand, I've started taking some stuff from PandaMaru and Avy and Frankensteining them into a usable tileset.
On the other, there's that Wild West bundle in the store. I'm almost sure it has the kinds of stuff I'm looking for -- especially since the project is in a world that's a bit of a blend of European fantasy and late-19th and early-20th century technology. I use RMMV, but I can modify that bundle for it. Bearing that in mind, I tend to refrain from purchasing resource packs if I'm not certain I can use most of it.

Any advice?

I don't see a cactus in any of the screenshots for that pack. You'd want to make sure it's got them, if they're important.

I don't have that wild west pack, so I can't say.

But Cyanide has made a variety of cactus and other desert stuff. And a lot of the furniture she's made may fit with what you described.

I agree with this but only if the main protag going through here is a mariachi band player chasing after a cowboy who stole his guitar.
