The Desert Botanical Garden is a mid-sized cultural institution based in Phoenix, Arizona, focused on education, research, exhibition, and conservation of desert plants from around the world, with emphasis on the Southwestern United States. It seeks to be a consistently engaging destination that highlights the diversity and wonder of desert ecosystems. Through its programs and exhibits, the garden serves a broad audience that includes students, educators, researchers, and members of the public seeking learning opportunities about desert flora. A notable recent development is a collaboration announced in April 2026 with the Arizona Community Foundation, in partnership with the City of Phoenix and Arizona State University, to host the 122° Conference, a two-day national gathering planned for December 2-3, 2026 in downtown Phoenix. The project illustrates the garden's role in convening diverse stakeholders around desert plant knowledge and conservation.
