“The Garden’s commitment to the community is to advance excellence in education, research, exhibition and conservation of desert plants of the world with emphasis on the southwestern United States.” - from Tending the Garden, campaign document
Located in Phoenix, Arizona, The Desert Botanical Garden lies within 1200 acres of Papago Park, a unique urban desert park characterized by picturesque red sandstone Buttes. The Desert Botanical Garden is home to many rare desert plants and is committed to the research, preservation and display of desert flora. Through the master planning design process, SPLA is working to strengthen the garden’s display galleries and enhance the visitor experience.
