Phoenix is a wonderful place full of spectacular attractions. A popular attraction is the Desert Botanical Garden. It is a 140 acre botanical garden located within Papago Park in Phoenix, Arizona. Established by the Arizona Cactus and Native Flora Society in 1937 and established at this site in 1939, the garden now has more than 21,000 plants, in more than 4000 taxa, one-third of which are native to the area, including 139 species which are rare, threatened or endangered. Of particular note are the rich collections of agave (176 taxa) and cacti (10,350 plants in 1,350 taxa), especially the Opuntia sub-family. Incidentally plants from less extreme climate conditions are protected under shadehouses. There exists an Australian collection, a Baja California collection and a South American collection, all of plants adapted to desert conditions. Numerous ecosystems are represented: a mesquite bosque, semidesert grassland, and upland chaparral scrubThe Desert Botanical Garden has been selected as a Phoenix Point of Pride.
