About Tohono Chul
Tohono Chul is a 49-acre Botanical Garden & Cultural Destination in Tucson, Arizona
Through gardens, art, education, and community experiences, we invite people to deepen their understanding of the Sonoran Desert and the relationships that sustain it.
The Mission
We are a community oasis where reverence for the cultural and natural ecology of the Sonoran Desert region inspires responsible stewardship so that future generations may thrive.
At Tohono Chul’s dedication ceremony, Richard and Jean Wilson expressed their vision
We dedicate this place to those who come here, who, we hope, will not only admire and find comfort in the natural beauty of the area, but will achieve greater appreciation of the ways of conserving all our precious desert region and obtain a greater understanding of the people native to these areas.
