A Visit to the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix Arizona

**UPDATED 3/31/23**

My husband and I made a trip to Arizona late February and early March to visit my Mom in Mesa, Arizona.  One of the places we got to explore was the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona.  The garden was not in full bloom, but it was nice just the same.  I think we were about a month too early.

There were plenty of cacti to see and several that happened to have blooms on them.   There were some beautiful flowers in bloom.  One of the exhibits in the garden is called The Bee Garden.  Here are some of the flowers that were in bloom.  And yes the bees were doing their thing.

This is called the Ironwood Tree.  It stands 20 feet tall.  Quite impressive in person.

Jeff Hebets is the artist.  He made this in honor of his cousin, Phil who originated a tree boxing methodology that enabled over a million native plants to be salvaged instead of bulldozed.

As you can see it is a beautiful place.  There was a lot of walking and the sun does get hot quickly in Arizona.  Leroy and I enjoyed it. The two of us took an abundance of pictures where ever we would go, over 500 pictures on our trip altogether.  Coming soon there will be more posts about the other places we visited in scenic Arizona.  Between catching up on work and helping out the grandbabies, I have been pretty busy.  Plus I have to take time to do our Sassy Silver Sister live once a month.

So until my next blog post, enjoy your time this spring.  Don’t forget to visit Sassy Silver Sisters on Facebook.

Take care, Rhonda (the middle sister).
