O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Več kot 50.000 puščavskih rastlin uspeva na 140 hektarjih, vključno z eno najlepših zbirk agav in kaktusov na svetu. Znamenita vrtna "Pot tisoč vrtnic" je pravzaprav vijugasta pot skozi več kot 6.000 cvetočih kaktusov, sploh ne vrtnic.

Poudarki: Po mraku se vrt spremeni s svetlečimi umetniškimi instalacijami med sezonskimi "Flash" večeri luči, kjer saguari mečejo gledališke sence na poti. Njihovi večeri "Plants and Pint" vam omogočijo, da srkate lokalno arizonsko obrtniško pivo, medtem ko se sprehajate skozi kreasotovski puščavski somrak.

Notranji nasveti

Bring closed-toe shoes: the gravel trails get hot and prickly pear spines tumble onto the path.
The Gertrude Webster Butterfly Pavilion is open seasonally from spring through fall, so check dates before you go if pollinators are your thing.
Arrive right when they open at 8 AM to catch the morning bird activity and claim a shady parking spot.
Skip the cafeteria and grab a prickly pear lemonade from the outdoor patio instead, it's the best refreshment on site.
