Category: Tours
Join Scott Burdick, board chair of Desert Botanical Garden, for a private tour of his famed Rancho Arroyo garden! Dating to the 1920s, this acre property was originally owned by Hubert Earle, director of the Desert Botanical Garden. Earle filled the grounds with rare specimens brought back from Mexico, including boojum trees, unusual cacti, and striking desert flora. Successive owner Virginia Cave sculpted the landscape to echo natural desert wash with native plantings, including palo brea and several different species of cacti. Further delights include heritage ironwood, saguaro, and totem pole cacti, as well as a fountain-fed, circulating stream that attracts wildlife and nourishes the flowers and grasses.
