I Went to the Tucson Botanical Gardens

Recently, I spent a few days in Tucson, Arizona. One of the highlights of the trip, for me, was a visit to the Tucson Botanical Gardens.

Located on what was originally a family estate (the Porters) with the house and surrounding gardens, the exhibition these days shows the variety of garden possibilities, even in an unforgiving climate.

Butterflies

They’ve also got a butterfly pavilion – but it’s only open till 3 p.m. so make sure to go earlier if you want to see them. While I was there, employees were still decorating for the holidays. I’ve included a photo of workers fashioning a tree out of cacti and succulents.

Fresh Air

I loved how fresh and clean and scented the air was. What a wonderful retreat! I’ll definitely be going back the next time I’m in Tucson.

Enjoy the photo diary – I’ll try to caption to the best of my memory (and the brochure) . . .
