Bailey Eckert:

"What a gorgeous garden. Had so many different varieties of plants: succulents, cactus, plants for pollinators, bulbs, herbs, fruit trees. It really has it all. They are all labeled well so you know exactly what you’re looking at. The butterfly garden was amazing. Very cool kaleidoscope situation with a spinning flower pot. Interesting exhibit with sea creatures made out of recycled plastic. And two art exhibits - one from an Antarctica trip and one from botanical art. Great value for the experience."

"Enjoyed a Thursday afternoon stroll around the botanical gardens. Loved the various sections, including the kitchen and herb areas. Most everything labeled and easy to read. There were many colorful ceramic bench seats around the gardens, though I would have liked a few more, with some being in the shaded areas. Large variety of cacti and other varieties. We enjoyed the butterfly exhibit, especially seeing the chrysalis window. The tropical butterfly room didn’t have many butterflies at the moment, but a container of newly emerged butterflies were brought in while we were there. There also was a special exhibit of sculptures made from trash removed from the oceans. Very clever and eye-opening."

"Wandering through the Tucson Botanical Gardens offers a wonderful microcosm of the Sonoran Desert’s rich environment, with beautiful cacti and succulent patches throughout. There are also herb gardens, composting exhibits, galleries, a gift shop, and a patio bistro (Edna’s Eatery). There are also educational exhibits, including the family history associated with the acreage, and I look forward to seeing what types of community events may be offered in the future, such as music in the garden — there’s a lot they can do with this small but beautiful footprint. A lovely place to spend the afternoon!"

"Nice small botanical garden. It's only about 5-6 acres in size. It butts up to a community of houses. They make up for it by packing a lot in the space they have. Lots of winding paths and garden rooms. You see different vignettes depending on what direction you approach. Has a very nice butterfly house."
