The new 13-acre Wallace Desert Garden, situated along Queen Creek, offers spectacular views of Picketpost Mountain and a pallet of desert gardens representing arid regions around the world. Join a volunteer guide for an approximately ½-mile stroll along its new main trail and learn about the history of its acquisition and move, its acclaimed ephedra collection, and its many other impressive specimens. With fully 1.5 miles of new trails and loops, two water crossings, multiple gardens and gathering areas, you’ll want to return again and again to explore the Wallace Desert Garden on your own. Space is limited; pre-registration required.

Two April celebrations, one shared legacy.
Founder’s Day on April 1st reminds us of the bold vision of Colonel Boyce Thompson that planted the first seeds of what is now Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Arbor Day on April 24th reminds us why that vision still matters. Honor both by making a gift that protects our tree collections, supports education, and ensures that the Arboretum continues to thrive for generations to come.
Support a continued legacy. Donate at the link in bio.
