Desert Botanical Garden - saguaros at the northern edge of their range

The Desert Botanical Garden maintains living collections of Sonoran Desert plants, including tall saguaro cacti that occur naturally in the Phoenix region. The Phoenix area lies near the northern limit of the saguaro's natural range in the Sonoran Desert, so the presence of mature saguaros within an urban park is biogeographically notable. The garden documents native plant distributions and conservation efforts within its exhibits and trails.
