We visited just to see the Chihuly exhibit. The traveling display had been to Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh and I thought was would be great to see it in the desert. It was more amazing than I could have imagined.
First off, I did not realize that there were so many different types and species of cactus. I wish I was a local, because I would love to be able to sign up for their Desert Landscaper School. That would be amazing!! The lay out and the trails are very nice. And I can't believe that I am typing this, but the different types of cactus are so beautiful!! I must have taken a gajillion photos! Also, we happened to go just before sunset, so it was very nice to wander around the gardens after dark. Plus, the Chilly glass looks amazing all lit up. A must see in Phoenix!
