The Polly Hill Arboretum Board of Directors is sponsoring a trip to Phoenix, Arizona March 22 – 26, 2015, and has a few spots available for interested garden tourists. Outside of New England, one of their favorite places is Arizona, especially in the spring. The Sonoran desert vegetation is surprisingly lush and the sunsets can be fantastic. Join them for this special tour featuring four different public gardens. They will be based in Old Town Scottsdale at the Hyatt Place Hotel, a perfect location for walking to nearby restaurants, shops, and boutiques. Gardens include: The Desert Botanic Garden, Tohono Chul Park, The Sonoran Desert Museum, and the Boyce Thompson Arboretum (pictured, courtesy of www.mustseephoenix.com.)Â For more information visit http://www.pollyhillarboretum.org//srv/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Gardens-Thriving-in-the-Desert2.pdf.
