Tucson Botanical Gardens
The Tucson Botanical Gardens are a major attraction, not just
for the rich collection of cactus and desert wildflowers. An
educational walk highlights the history of the native Tohono
O'odham Indians and the work local scientists have done to preserve
native seeds. Be sure to visit the traditional Mexican-American
neighbourhood garden (
Nuestro Jardin), and relax on the
shaded restaurant patio.
