Tucson Botanical Gardens, voted America's Best Secret Garden by Reader's Digest, is a beautiful oasis in the heart of Tucson.

Take a stroll through a 5-1/2 acre collection of 16 specialty gardens including Nuestro Jardin (Mexican-American Garden), a Xeriscape Garden and much more. This beautiful oasis was originally the home of Bernice and Rutger Porter. Dating to the 1920s, the earliest buildings on the property were constructed of adobe bricks made right on site. True to the vision of Mrs. Porter, Tucson Botanical Gardens is a place of beauty, inspiration, and education about the natural world. The Gardens features a seasonal live tropical butterfly exhibit, Butterfly Magic. Tours, group rates, and specialty classes available.

Gift Shop featuring unique and fresh items for all ages. Have lunch on our lovely outdoor patios at The Gardens Cafe featuring Cafe 54. Hold your meeting, wedding or special event at the Gardens.
