What to Expect

Santa Fe Botanical Garden is situated at the southern end of the Rocky Mountains and at the intersection of four diverse geographical regions. As a result, erratic weather is to be expected year-round. Climate change is significantly impacting the variability and intensity of our weather.

During periods of excessive heat or extended drought, plants grow more slowly, bloom times may be reduced, and some plants may even stop blooming. The Garden is committed to water conservation, and we do not water our gardens excessively. Instead, we have developed a plant collection focused on native and adapted plants that are better able to withstand climate extremes. We believe plants of the arid Steppe (our geographic region) offer great interest with their beautiful forms and textures, even when they are not in bloom.

Plan Your Visit

  • The Garden has portable toilets that are available for public use.
  • For your comfort, we suggest that you bring a hat and sunscreen to protect your skin during your visit to the Garden.
  • Picnics are allowed in the Garden. Visitors must abide by all Garden rules, avoid blocking pathways and remove trash. No glass containers allowed.
  • Please stay on designated pathways. The plants in our ecosystem can be very fragile, and do not respond well to footprints.
  • Groups of more than 10 people should make arrangements in advance.
