Desert Botanical Garden

Day 2

Explore the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix with a local guide

Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix was founded in 1939 by a small group of passionate local citizens, including Swedish botanist Gustaf Starck, who saw the need to conserve the beautiful desert environment. Supported by social influencers such as Gertrude Divine Webster, the Garden's presence grew. Nearly 80 years later, Desert Botanical Garden has blossomed from a dream into a living museum whose commitment to the community is to advance excellence in education, research, exhibition and conservation of desert plants of the world, with an emphasis on the Southwestern US. Today the largest botanical garden in the Southwest, featuring 50,000 plants from across the world, the Garden strives to be the world's premier center for the display, study and understanding of desert plants and their environments.
