Desert Botanical Garden

The Desert Botanical Garden--Phoenix AZ

These photos are from a trip to the botanical garden in Popago Park which pops out at the intersection of the cities of Scottsdale, Tempe, and Phoenix. This visit was when the glass artist Dale Chihuly adorned the park with many of his glass sculptures.

 

The first time I was there, a docent walked with the group and explained the complex desert life. On this trip, they had no guide but offered many explanatory postings. Not as good as a live person who could answer questions.

                                    

There are many paths throughout the park and is never far from the main routes and pavilions.

Everywhere you walked there was Chihuly glass art mixed in with the desert flora.
