Arizona Garden

Amazing place!! Sooooo beautiful and calming. Well maintained and easy to navigate.

The Arizona Cactus Garden at Stanford is such a hidden gem for family photos & engagements! Tucked away on campus, it feels extremely peaceful, and is always full of unique desert plants, winding paths; golden hour is phenomenal! As a photographer, I love how the natural textures and warm tones create a soft, earthy backdrop that flatters every skin tone. It's especially great for engagements for those that are looking for a more desert-esque background in the Bay Area, since those can be hard

Nice place, but worth a visit only if you're already in the area

Soooooo cool to see all of the cacti and succulents that are so varied and well taken care of. Wow. If you take the time to consider the growth and flowering of each plant, you will be entranced and marveled! Wow. Highly recommended. Visited TWICE on my one-day trip to Palo Alto!!!

The Arizona Garden at Stanford is a hidden gem and a perfect spot for a quiet escape.

It's peaceful, scenic, and a great place to take a walk, relax, or enjoy nature in a unique setting. Whether you're a plant lover or just looking for a calm spot on campus, the Arizona Garden is definitely worth a visit. A wonderful blend of beauty, serenity
