Arizona Gardens

top of my head, I'd recommend the formal botanical garden in Phoenix and
checking out the old section of Japanese fresh flower growers, in Tucson -
the Desert Museum and there's some pretty nice peach and pecan groves,
Sedona, Lake Havasu, the Grand Canyon, the White Mountains have some really
pretty places, and on and on.

entire days there. Absolutely wonderful. I have not been to the Tucson Botanical
Garden. The Boyce Thompson Arobretum does have a website you can check out. The
address is:
http://arboretum.ag.arizona.edu/
Admission is $5.
I have a couple of pictures on my website as well. Go to:
http://members.home.net/gizmoaz/~gizmoaz.htm
and then select Julie and Alan's Trip to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum. You did
not say specifically where in Arizona you were going...but have fun! :)

in places you at least want to vacation, they're kinda used to being taken
to alternative locations anyways. Thanks for the additional suggestions,
dreaming of March in AZ.
