Arizona State University Arboretum
located in Tempe, Arizona
This is the largest public urban arboretum area in Arizona and is located on the campus of ASU in Tempe. It was established in 1990. It features the largest collection of public date palms in N. America and is the selected site of the All American Selections Display Garden for Arizona. The 750 acre spread of the arboretum encompasses the campus and features tons of desert trees, deciduous trees, evergreens, cacti, succulents, roses, annuals, perennials, xeriscape, and tropical plants on display and for research. There are over 300 Sonoran Desert and other regional species in the arboretum. There are several walking guides and paths throughout the area.
In addition, there is a smaller 2.5 acre botanical area called Desert Arboretum Park that is located next to Tempe Butte between Sun Devil Stadium and Packard Stadium. This is used primarily for special events by ASU campus, but also serves as a desert plant refuge and research area. There are benches/paths for guests to view the flora. This park is open 7-3:30 Monday to Friday.
