Petra’s visit to Desert Botanical Garden in Arizona

Today ’s photos are from Petra Williams . We ’ve visited Petra ’s garden in Vermont ( HERE ) , and she ’s taken us along on her visits to bothOld Westbury Gardenson Long Island in New York ( HERE ) and theCentral Park Conservatory Gardenin New York City ( HERE ) . Today she ’s sharing her visit to a completely different part of the land .

She says,“You’ve mentioned that you have n’t featured any gardens yet from Arizona . Perhaps these scene gibe the bill . At the terminal of March / beginning of April , my husband and I spent a week in southerly Arizona . I ’d always wanted to see saguaro cacti in their native habitat . A must see for us was theDesert Botanical Gardenin Phoenix . We timed it utterly , and everything was just starting to blossom . Additionally there were carving sited with the plantings throughout the garden . ”

Petra , as far as I ’m concerned , you ’ve take us to another major planet today ! I ’ve never been to the Southwest , but so want to . The landscapes are fabulously alien to me , and I ’d love to see them up close . Thanks so much for the go – what a spectacular office ! * * * And … that make 45 states we ’ve featured ! Five more to go….come on Alaska , Hawaii , South Dakota , Arkansas , and Mississippi ! ( Actually , Alaska and Hawaii are already in the works – continue tune up ! )
