The garden is so big that it has its own zip code. The garden was started in 1969 as a non-profit organization with the mission to teach people about plants, nature and the environment. Since then, they have added many attractions including: trails for walking or biking; areas to relax and enjoy art or music; an indoor conservatory where you can see tropical plants year round; outdoor gardens including a Japanese Garden; and an outdoor amphitheater that hosts concerts throughout the summer months.

Tropical plants and rare species are constantly arriving at the garden.

  • The botanical garden is a top destination for plant collectors. As you can imagine, this means that the plant collection at the botanical garden is constantly growing.
  • The Botanical Garden has its own nursery, which keeps track of all new arrivals and makes sure they get planted in the right place.
  • The Botanical Garden actively conducts research in order to maintain its reputation as an authority on plants. This includes everything from creating hybrids to studying rare species in their native habitat or even extinct ones that are only known through fossil records and historical accounts.

The desert house is kept at 78 degrees every day of the year, 1 degree warmer than Arizona’s average temperature.

The Desert House is one of the most popular attractions at the Botanical Garden. It was originally built in 1964 as a gift from the city of Phoenix to its residents, who were not able to travel far from home during the summer months. The house has been kept at 78 degrees every day of the year since its construction, 1 degree warmer than Arizona’s average temperature. It’s also home to an amazing butterfly garden!

We recommend visiting this attraction on hot days because it will help you cool off and enjoy some cool air conditioning for free (or for just $8). If you aren’t into paying for things like that but still want to enjoy yourself in nature then we also recommend taking classes at this location! They offer everything from painting classes where you can make your own pottery wheel or mosaic tile artwork; yoga classes that get you moving while improving both your physical health and mental wellbeing; even cooking courses where they’ll teach you how to prepare delicious food while keeping it healthy by reducing sodium intake or adding more fruits/vegetables into recipes instead of meat products such as chicken breast etc…
