i'm not as photo happy in my own backyard so I only have a few of the Phx Desert Botanical Gardens (which definitely do not do the place justice)

They all look pretty nice. Nice pics
I'm a little surprised that that the Illinois homers
haven't talked up Ravina.

Thanks to everyone who posted pics. All of the gardens had aspects of beauty. I especially appreciate botanical gardens which try to emphasize plants that are native to the area.
