The Stanford Cactus Garden (30,000 square feet), also known as the Arizona Cactus Garden, is a botanical garden specializing in cactus and succulents.

The Nature of Glass, Chihuly’s unmistakeable glass-works parallels that of the Sonoran desert landscape in this exhibition which is presented at the Desert Botanical Garden.( Phoenix, Az) This 5 minute video highlights some of his works in the manner that I was able to portray it with my point and shoot. I’ve also included other notable shots that I thought helped set the feeling of the beauty in nature that abounds here at the DBG. You saw it in FB, Now see it on YT ! I believe you’ll enjoy this as well.
