3. Desert Botanical Garden
If you guys follow me on social media you know DBG is my go to spot for pictures ANY TIME of the season. DBG is a staple to Phoenix because not only do they bring the beauty of the desert, but their staff dedicated themselves to help conserve and care for rare and endangered desert plans of the Sonoran Desert. This is a fantastic spot to get nature aesthetic pictures of Arizona’s desert beauty. Great benefits of visiting include nature programs for kiddos and families, dining at Gertrude’s, and experiencing the butterfly nursery. Make sure to check out their upcoming events page to plan an awesome evening.
PRO TIP: Enjoy complimentary admission to the Garden every second Tuesday of the month!
