text: This is one of my favorite escapes from the city while still within the city I have lived in AZ for a year and have been visiting DBG on average once a month since my arrival in the serenity of the Sonoran The way the plants take on a different character and color at various times throughout the yearlovely The paths are wellmaintained the staff and volunteers all seem to enjoy their surroundings and the guests of all ages seem as contented as I feel while meandering through cacti succulents grasses herbs flowering plants and the AWESOME SCULPTURES that just pop a color into view at the best turns nnI have a few events on my calendar for this coming Fall including Music in the Garden and I will definitely be taking more houseguests to DBG as part of my AZ favorites tour nnI was impressed with the Butterfly Pavilion when we visited on plenty of species to get up close and personal with My nephew also got a kick out of the flashlight tour that we enjoyed in May of this yearget there to get out of the city
