Our pollinator garden displays a variety of cacti, other succulents and plants from many habitats.

Arizona native plants dominate, but by searching carefully you will find plants from other states as well as other countries. Many of the plants featured in this garden can also be found throughout the park, and this diversity and abundance attracts a wide variety of pollinators. Throughout the year this concentration of plants will help attract an extensive assortment of insects, birds and small mammals.

On repeated visits to this garden you may find year round flowering accompanied by associated pollinators. We hope this will help to encourage and inspire you to introduce the use of cacti and other succulents to expand, improve and enjoy your own landscapes and neighborhood open spaces.
