Mesa Community College Arboretum

The Mesa Community College Arboretum serves as a living laboratory for students and a showcase for native and desert-adapted plants from around the world. The 146-acre campus is home to nearly 100 species of trees and over 80 species of cacti and other succulents. The arboretum’s Xeriscape Demonstration Garden highlights plants that can be grown with very little supplemental water, and the Sonoran Desert Garden focuses on plants native to Arizona.
