    Located in the center of town, these 5 acre gardens are marvelous. Here you can see various kinds of desert plants including cacti and flowering shrubbery. Birds and Butterflies are in abundance amongst the foliage and there is plenty of shade. A visit here of an hour or 2 is definitely worth the time if your into horticulture, nature or just looking for a pleasant place to visit.

    • Coming from a sub-tropical region, one of things I was excited about was the prospect of getting to see some desert vegetation. The Botanical Gardens was a great place to do just that. They have five acres of land, and many exhibits. I saw all of the local plants I'd ever heard of, and so many other types that I never had.

    Of course no botanical display in Arizona would be complete without some cacti. The Saguaro shows one form of deformity that happens occasionally to this type of cactus.

    The gardens had several ramadas set up showing different plants and types of gardens. I especially liked the Desert Ramada and the Zen Ramada.
