They sponsor a concert series in the spring, which I would LOVE, and some children's programs (which I am hoping my son and his family take advantage of, since I talked them into become members of the gardens), among many, many other things. I'm going back the next time I visit---in the fall.
We came upon sculptures by another artist (the first artist was in last week's Saturday Snaptshot) during our walk...Philip Haas.
The Four Seasons are four monumental, earthy and exuberant sculptures that will delight your eyes. ( taken straight from the pamphlet ) My son Luke said he felt as if he were in the Lord of the Rings movie and they would come to life and start walking at any moment.
I am linking up with Alyce from At Home With Books, and her Saturday Snapshot meme.

Such an amazing botanical garden! I have never been to Phoenix but this has me wanting to visit soon!

I love the sculptures - they really liven up the landscape.
I love the cool mix of art and nature, some of those cacti look sculptural.
Oh wow, those are fantastic, and so perfect for the setting!
AWESOME...thanks for sharing.

Who would have thought that the desert would have so much creativity! :-)
Oh my goodness, those sculptures are amazing! I'm in awe at the creativity of some artists.
Those sculptures are awesome! I'd love to see something like that in person. I agree with Louise--the cacti themselves are sculptural. Very interesting to me since I've only ever seen prickly pear cactus.
I love that the cacti are sculptures in their own right too. Philip Haas is certainly exuberant!
Like other people, I'm amazed at how sculptural those cacti are - and how big. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/U62WN
Looks like a fabulous walk! I love looking at cacti and art - what a great combination!
