FROM THE PUBLISHER Welcome to Desert Botanical Garden.

It is estimated that public gardens, like what you are about to experience, have existed for more than 3,000 years. The best botanical gardens of then and now accomplish three major functions: to entertain, to educate and to energize.

DBG is renowned for its outdoor events and activities that are geared to all ages. As a visitor to the Garden, you have the opportunity to learn so much about its foliage as you wander its trails and enjoy its vistas. In the process of being educated and entertained, you are doing so in an environment that provides solace and reflection. In this hyper-stimulated world in which we live, the opportunity for quiet thought is sometimes hard to find.

Desert Botanical Garden is a gift for all of us. Take your time while you enjoy this Valley treasure.

Wild Rising llegó—it’s time to play, So let’s wander el Jardín, we’ll lead the way!

Our frogs and meerkats by now you’ve found, Más animales unleashed are all around.

Animal crossings signal to creatures ahead, Les gusta que los toques, but not climbed on or fed.

Slimy, shelled creatures you’ll next pass through In the colors of the Arizona flag—red, yellow and blue.

Once you see where the arches stand tall, En tu imaginación, you may hear the wolf call.

A la vuelta de la esquina, things aren’t as they appear, Frogs form the cactus that we hold so dear.

Head to our tallest cactus—face your fears, Este cocodrilo no muerde, he only sheds tears.

Un safari de color once you’ve completed, Their message is one not to feel defeated.

Todas las criaturas big, medium and small, We rely on each other—un planeta for all.

Our assisted living is accredited for two reasons.

You. And your family.

Because having the confidence and peace of mind of accreditation is important. That’s why Maravilla Scottsdale is accredited by CARF International—an independent, non-profit organization that sets exceedingly high standards for care and service. It’s a lot like an accreditation for a hospital or college. Or a five-star rating for a hotel.

We think you’ll find that our accreditation is only one of the many reasons to take a good look at Maravilla.

TRAIL GUIDE

DESERT B O TA N I C A L GARDEN

Butterfly Garden Adventure Wander the Harriet K. Maxwell Desert Wildflower Loop trail to discover how butterflies use plants to eat, grow and survive in their life cycle.

Host Plants

Find plants that caterpillars can eat.

Caterpillars have two jobs: to eat and grow. The plant they eat is called their host plant; its the only plant the caterpillars can eat to survive. Monarch caterpillars rely on their host plant, the milkweed. This is where monarch butterflies lay their eggs.

If you could only eat one thing, what would it be?

Nectar Plants

Find flowering plants that provide nectar.

Adult butterflies drink nectar from flowers through their straw-like tongue called a proboscis. They use their antennae and super color vision to find blooms. Flat, clustered flowers that are easier to land on are their favorite.

Use your senses. What colors do you see? Describe what you smell.

DESERT B O TA N I C A L GARDEN

TRAIL GUIDE

Shelter Plants

Find leafy, shady plants that can provide shelter.

Shelter plants are trees or shrubs that can protect butterflies from wind, rain and predators. Butterflies need shelter plants at all stages of their life. Caterpillars often find a shelter plant when they are ready to form their chrysalis.

Look at the plants around you.

Where would you want to hide?

Did you know?

Did you see a butterfly or caterpillar?

Sometimes they are hard to spot.

Camouflage helps insects like butterflies blend into their surroundings, or tricks predators into thinking they are something they are not. One example: Giant Swallowtail caterpillars look like bird poop. They can hide in plain sight thanks to this clever disguise.

What would your camoflauge look like?

IN THE DESERT, EVERY DROP COUNTS.

When you live in a desert city, you don’t look at water the same way everyone else does. You consider how it can be better protected and saved. There is always a potential for shortage, so we’ve been planning ahead for years. We are prepared. SEE WATER DIFFERENTLY.
