What's In Bloom
With approximately fifty acres under cultivation, something is always blooming at the Desert Botanical Garden. The Garden is the premiere showplace featuring desert plants from around the world, all of which have various means of attracting pollinators (and cameras). Flowers might be obvious and flamboyant, or less conspicuous and diminutive; open at night or during the day; common or very rare. Visit us frequently to experience them all.
