Our Botanical Gardens Expert Says:
Let the Tucson Botanical Gardens be your garden away from home! You'll feel right at home with the native plants and landscapes and will appreciate the lessons you'll learn along the way about horticulture, aesthetics, and entertainment!
The gardens and activities at the Tucson Botanical Gardens are many, varied, and will appeal to the youngest and oldest of guests. From the Backyard Bird Garden to the Butterfly Garden to the Cactus and Succulent Garden, guests will see, hear, and smell beautiful flowers and trees that even the birds and butterflies can't resist! You'll also love all the bright colors in the Wildflower garden and the smells of the Herb Garden. At the Tucson Botanical Gardens you can even learn how to create your own garden that will attract butterflies and birds! You'll see what crops the Native Americans cultivated and how they grew them, and you'll hang out in a Sensory Garden where all five senses interplay to create an overwhelmingly beautiful experience. Plant sales, garden tours, garden art exhibits, and herb fairs are just more of the reasons why guests flock to the Tucson Botanical Gardens all year round! Make sure you stop by the Gardens' Café, the gift shop, and the gallery on your way out—you don't want to miss any aspect of the spectacular Tucson Botanical Gardens!
So sign up for a tour, take a class, or just ponder the meaning of life while sitting in the blooming iris garden, and expect a day filled with learning, beauty, and family fun!
