The University of Arizona: Sonoran Native Plants

The University of Arizona Arboretum is home to some of the finest specimens of Sonoran native plants and trees anywhere. Join us as we tour the Joseph Wood Krutch Garden and other areas of the campus featuring these remarkable, adaptable, and water-wise plants and trees. Learn about their history, current use and why they should have a place in any desert garden.

Tours start at the University of Arizona Berger Memorial Fountain, west of Old Main at 8:00 am in September, October, April and May and 9:30 am in November-March. The tours last 60-90 minutes. Campus visitor parking is available in campus parking garages at a cost of $2 per hour.
