The Tucson Botanical Gardens is a collection of 16 botanical gardens located at 2150 North Alvernon Way, Tucson, Arizona, USA.
Although the Garden property dates back to the 1930s, when it was the home of Bernice and Rutger Porter, the Tucson Botanical Gardens were founded in 1964 by horticulturist and collector, Harrison G. Yocum, who opened the cactus and palm gardens at his own home to the public. Meanwhile Mrs. Porter was looking for a way to preserve her house and gardens. By the early 1970s, the Tucson Botanical Gardens moved to her property.
