Dinner on the Desert
Saturday, April 26
Get ready to celebrate the 39th Annual Dinner on the Desert-an evening filled with everything that makes Desert Botanical Garden extraordinary! Join Event Chair Adriana Murrietta and a vibrant community of friends, family and colleagues for a night to remember.
Kick off with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres as you bid on rare plants, garden art and exclusive experiences in our unforgettable silent auction. This year, we honor Ken Schutz, the Dr. William Huizingh Executive Director, whose 24 years of visionary leadership have shaped the Garden's legacy and mission.
Be among the first to experience the Garden's new Exhibit Gallery, featuring the debut of a breathtaking Orchid Exhibit that showcases our dedication to conservation, including efforts to protect Arizona's unique desert orchids.
Enjoy a spring-inspired dinner under the stars, topped off with a delightful farewell experience. Celebrate with us and support the Garden's mission in conservation, education, exhibition and research as we preserve our precious desert heritage!
