As Arizona’s largest and oldest botanical garden, the Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior is a living showcase of desert flora from around the globe, including rare cacti and wildflowers. Both National Geographic and Condé Nast Traveler commend the arboretum for its immersive walking trails and educational programming led by local horticulturists. Art installations, birdwatching tours, and seasonal plant sales add to the experience, and the nonprofit’s dedication to community outreach ensures every visit is both beautiful and meaningful. It’s an inspiring spot for nature lovers and families seeking a peaceful escape.
