Guided Tours
Pima County Demonstration Gardens
Whether you wander on your own, or join a free guided tour by a Master Gardener, our 12 unique Demonstration Gardens will expand your gardening knowledge and give you many ideas for your own landscape. We showcase various planting, irrigation and composting methods for desert horticulture. Gardens are located at the Pima County Cooperative Extension office at 4210 N. Campbell Ave. in Tucson, Arizona.
Fall Master Gardener-led tours run every Wednesday and Saturday at 9:00 am. Starting September 3rd through December 20th. Please note there will be no tour on October 18th or November 15th as we have other program events scheduled. Pay attention to the weather, as tours are canceled without notice if it rains. Please wear closed-toe shoes, a hat, and sunscreen, and bring water.
If you have a large group or a topic of special interest for your club or association, tours can be booked in advance by emailing Celeste Gambill at celestegambill@arizona.edu.
Campus Arboretum Tours
Did you know that the University of Arizona campus is a famous Arboretum? Considered one of the best campus Arboretums in the country, the 400 acres are home to outstanding trees from around the world or from our own Sonoran Desert.
Every Sunday morning from mid-September to mid-May, Master Gardeners lead free tours around the Campus Arboretum. There is a series of six tours, each one highlighting something different about this unique collection. Check out the descriptions (below) and use this link to register for any of these tours.
