Butterflies in the desert
Karen sent these photos from a butterfly exhibit at Phoenix's Desert Botanical Gardens, which is nestled in the beautiful red buttes of Papago Park. Serving the community for over 70 years, the gardens are committed to preserving desert plants and educating people about the fragile desert eco-environment. They offer a variety of classes to learn more about how to preserve the desert - and how to plan your own gardens.
They also offer many events throughout the year, including art exhibits and a jazz series in the gardens. Check out the Allan Houser exhibit through the end of this month, or attend one of the many jazz events through June.
Or, simply enjoy these beautiful photos from Karen's desert visit. : )...
