New this Fall at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix

I was out at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix to see a preview of their new Agave and Yucca display and realized there is quite a bit going on there. On November 21st the Berlin Agave Yucca Forest and Allan Houser Sculpture Exhibit has their public opening. At 12 noon visitors can enjoy an amazing new placement of agaves, yuccas and huge joshua trees. And, throughout the garden, an installation of Allan Houser sculptures opens to the public. More on the Agave Yucca Forest and Allan Houser Sculpture installation..

Before these two new exhibits are available, consider a visit to the Monarch Butterfly exhibit. These large bright orange butterflies flutter throughout the exhibit through November 15th.

I'm looking forward to the Agave-Yucca Forest opening. You'll enjoy the massive Joshua Trees and the variety of agave plants from an elevated walkway.
