The purpose of this living museum is to inspire and facilitate education, research, and interpretation of the natural world.
Visitors can expect to find a collection of over 3,500 plant species, as well as 200+ bird types, and can explore four miles of scenic trails or simply relax on a bench and enjoy the beauty and vistas.
Visitors can attend a variety of events, including plant sale events, Twilight Tours, and Pop-up Shops featuring curated items from local artisans, as well as outreach events and fundraiser events.
Visitors can purchase branded merchandise, including items such as clothing and accessories, as well as plants propagated from the garden's unique collection.
The best way to plan a visit to the garden is to check the calendar for business hours and closures, and to obtain a valid parking permit before arriving. Visitors can also view the garden's self-guided tours, such as the Deserts of the Southwest tour, to help plan their visit.
