Interpretive exhibits along the trails highlight desert wildflowers, conservation, desert plant adaptation and ethnobotany.

Since 1939, the Desert Botanical Garden has been home to one of the finest and most diverse collections of succulent plants, including rare, threatened and endangered species from around the Southwest and the world. It is the only botanical garden in the world whose mission, from its early inception, was to focus solely on desert plants.
