Did you know desert plants have very shallow roots?

Please stay on the trails at all times, so you do not damage the plants.

Which way to go? The Garden features five thematic trails, each color-coded on your map and on signs throughout the Garden. Find your location on pages 15 and 16.

Feeling hot? Make sure to stay hydrated, protect your skin with sunscreen and hats, cool off in shady spots and don't be shy to ask for help from a staff member.

Did you know the cactus family is among the five most threatened groups of living organisms?

Learn more about the Garden's efforts to protect them on our Behind-The-Scenes Tour.

Details are on page 14.

Feeling thirsty? Make sure you stay hydrated with our water refill stations marked on pages 15 and 16.

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.

Once you see where the arches stand tall, En tu imaginación, you may hear the wolf call. ¡Salta, salta! through a fluffle of rabbits, Dive into an SOS about plastic habits.

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.

The great outdoors and the great indoors, all in one.

Have you ever noticed that folks always say the great outdoors?

Well, what about the great indoors? Can’t they be great, too?

They sure can. And Maravilla Scottsdale is a perfect example.

Some would say it’s about as beautiful as a retirement community can be. But here’s the best part. Maravilla is located smack-dab in the middle of the great outdoors, too. And you can take advantage of it all by joining one (or several) of our many active clubs.

Come experience the great indoors AND outdoors for yourself at Maravilla Scottsdale.

The first thing to think about when landscaping is water.

This is why we recommend xeriscape landscaping which requires the least amount of irrigation to thrive. There is always a potential for water shortage, so we’re always looking for alternate ways to protect our resources.
