| - I love this place. Everyone needs to go here and they will love it too.
Photographers - they have classes you can take where you have access to the garden at night. What's more awesome than a picture of the full moon with a mighty saguaro in front of it. They also have smart phone photography classes. If you don't need a class, there is so much to photograph here. I've captured amazing shots of hummingbirds, flowers, butterflies, art, and people just to name a few. An awesome place to practice your craft.
The events - There is something always going on. Luminaries, Music in the Garden, Pumpkin Festival, Chocolates and Chiles, Dia de Los Muertos, giant art installations, plant sales, and these are just a few that happen in the fall. If you had a membership, it could be paid back in unique visits within a couple weeks.
Classes - I already talked about the photography classes (those are the ones I've taken) but there are so many others! You want to learn how to garden? Maybe create a drip system? Blow glass? Practice Tai-Chi? Seriously you can do all of this in the most picturesque place Phoenix has to offer.
I'm a huge fan of the garden and recently joined their Monarch Society that includes membership to the garden and has extra special events for young professionals. That means enjoying everything awesome the garden has to offer with other awesome people.
They are in the process of building a restaurant there which I am so looking forward to dining at. What a great location for drinks and fresh local food.
If you think it's just walking around looking at cactus, think again.
