Tucson Botanical Gardens

The Tucson Botanical Gardens is an urban oasis in the heart of Tucson. It connects people with plants and nature through art, science, history, and culture. Welcoming more than 150,000 guests, teaching thousands of school children, and providing countless community events requires constant care: * Maintaining and cultivating a diverse plant collection * Developing lessons for teachers and students * Presenting distinguished art exhibits and an unmatched Butterfly Magic experience
