Join us for the public unveiling of Sonoran Oasis, Tohono Chul’s new 15-year Master Plan! Shaped by input from more than 800 community members, the plan presents a vision for protecting, enhancing, and renewing our 49-acre botanical garden while preserving what makes Tohono Chul so special.

Hear from Tohono Chul leadership as we share the vision for the gardens’ future, including plans for improved visitor experiences, greater accessibility, resilient landscapes, and thoughtfully enhanced spaces for learning, gathering, and connecting with the Sonoran Desert.
