Occupying 8 acres in a desert wash, this botanical garden is home to 29 species of plants. Fountain Hills was originally the P Bar ranch and this wash contains one of the original ranch cabins and a dam dated to the 1940's. The garden was created as a plant and wildlife refuge in 1975. The elevation ranges from 1695 to 1800 feet. In 2006 the Town of Fountain Hills agreed to restore and maintain the original garden as a town feature.
