Growing up in the Phoenix area, I took the obligatory field trip to the Desert Botanical Garden in elementary school, but had not been back since. I really have no excuse, since I visit the area 1-2 times a year. After reading numerous posts from bloggers, I finally made it a priority. I invited my family members to come along, and 8 of us enjoyed the garden.
The desert garden is all about structure, and this one does not disappoint.
Cluster plantings also provided the wow factor.
There is also a natural trail, which shows the plants in a less formal setting.
I loved this garden! It was a great way to spend the morning, and my membership to The WFC got me in free!
