Be Immersed in the Beauty of Plants as a Volunteer Docent

The Santa Fe Botanical Garden at Museum Hill introduces visitors to a collection of native and adapted plants sure to thrive in our arid climate. Designed by W. Gary Smith, Phase One, the Orchard Gardens, opened in 2013. Its centerpiece is a fruit tree orchard surrounded by pathways and a rich tapestry of perennials, lavender and roses. Phase Two, Ojos y Manos, will open soon. There is no other place in Santa Fe where you can go to be so fully immersed in the beauty of plants.
