I took my mother. We were heading for Boyce Thompson but the traffic was so bad at 10 mins per mile (LPGA tourney and Renaissance festival) we came to the Botanical garden instead. I hadn't been in quite awhile and I didn't realize my mother had never been.

Anyway, it appears the trails are even nicer and of course, there is the butterfly pavillion. It was a great walk, altho we had to stop a lot for my 75 yr old mother to rest her laurels. I did get a couple pics of some cardinals and the butterflies too. The banana yuccas were exceptional here as they were thruout the valley.

It was very crowded on the lower trails. My mother preferred Boyce Thompson though.
