Host an Event
Our beautiful garden setting is the ideal location for any event.
Early in the morning, we strolled the Tucson Botanical Gardens, a sweet little 5.5-acre patch of greenery in busy midtown. It was a perfect way to begin a day, walking through an impressive collection of plants spread across a variety of themed gardens, including a rose garden, herb garden, shade garden, and cactus and succulent garden. Side note: they have a great gift shop and a little café on site.
