Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona
The Desert Botanical Garden is a magical destination and it never fails to impress! There is always something new to see. Cacti are always in bloom; butterflies and hummingbirds abound. Every year at Christmas, Las Noches de Luminarias are spectacular and it’s well worth a visit to see the garden lit so beautifully. I do love this place.

Phoenix is not just a hot desert! It has so much to offer in every season with great scenery, wonderful golf and so many dining options too.
My perfect day would be to visit the Desert Botanical Garden in the morning, followed by a lovely lunch there and then a game of golf up in the north part of the city where you play in and around the southwest desert. From there, an alfresco dinner overlooking Camelback Mountain at El Chorro! Priceless.
The winter weather and access to all parts of Arizona within a couple of hours!
The summer heat!
