Desert Botanical Garden

Today, we visited Desert Botanical Garden. Unsurprisingly, this is by far the best botanical garden we ever visited dealing with desert-condition native plants.  We were literally stunned by the quantity of visitors, on a Monday…  It is well organized with a short central loop that provides a quick overview, and side loops that provide a more in-depth appreciation.  We did all the side loops, as we were informed that all of them combined is only a 1 1/2 mile walk.

We broke for lunch (we had secured a 1:45 PM reservation) and following lunch we viewed their butterfly exhibit, as we had timed-out and needed to head out to the restaurant when we went by the enclosed area housing that  exhibit
