2150 N. Alvernon Way
Our local botanical gardens are the perfect place to go to be reminded of all the beauty the desert can hold. Spend an afternoon wandering through a wide variety of garden types: the cactus and succulent garden, the moonlight garden, the Zen garden, and the herb garden are just a few examples. Be sure to check out the butterfly pavilion and the chrysalis exhibit. And during the holidays, you won’t want to miss the luminaria celebration, where you might catch a glimpse of Santa or The Grinch.
