13. Tucson Botanical Garden

 Zen Garden Exhibit. (Tomasito photo)


There  is a good smallish botanical garden in Tucson where we spent a morning.


A special exhibit called "Wicked Ways of Wicked Plants" was featured with some clever postings describing such plants as "Flesh Eaters" and "Horrific Houseplants" and a whimsical mock laboratory of  "Horticulturalist-in-residence, Dr. Ergot Ratbane".


One of the workers said she enjoyed having so many children  visit the garden to see the collection of "wicked plants" and to meet "Dr. Ratbane"  because, as she said,   "Kids listen and adults don't and kids tell the truth and adults don't."
