Desert Botanical Garden

The Desert Botanical Garden is more than just a garden, as its schedule and its programs turn it into a veritable museum. Here are the permanent exhibitions you will see when you get there: desert discovery trail, which has plants from around the world and where you will find the oldest plantings, a trail which will help you understand the way plants are used for food, construction, tools and, of course, basket-making.




You can get to see how the bees take contact with the desert windflowers. After this, you can enjoy the panorama, seing the desert, the mountains, the plants and the animals of the area, all together. You can also visit the cactus galleries.

It already sounds great, but it gets even better, as another exhibition is the herb garden. The best thing about it is that it consists of five other gardens: Wildlife Garden, Picante Garden, Tea and Culinary Garden and Medicinal Garden. For sure, each and every of these gardens hides some secrets and some tips about using plants to heal, relax and enjoy not only your body, but your mind, too. These tips can seriously change your lifestyle, tuning it into a healthier and maybe more active one.

The gift shop at the Desert Botanical Garden is amazing, as it’s not special just for its beauty, but for the fact that it is practical. And an interesting thing about it is that you can find not only desert plants, but gift plants suitable for shipping, too. So you can choose some plants to decorate a friend’s garden, they will certainly look great.

The nice thing about this place is that you can also get a large number of books which provide you with the information you need to know about growing them. So you can even make a small corner in your home with this type of books. It must be great to learn how to take care of special plants in order to turn them into little and colorful friends, not just some decorative objects.

Of course, in the gift shop you will find t-shirts, key chains, photo frames and many other things like these ones, but you will probably get to ignore them, as the whole idea of searching a gift is finding something special. Something to make a moment unique, something to cheer a dear person, something which will become a memory.

So, the Desert Botanical Garden is a place worth seing and also a good place to find a gift. You will certainly get inspired of one of the things you see there and it will turn out a great souvenir to stand as a memory from this special and unique place.
