Save the Saguaros Collection
Shop for a cause! In collaboration with Phoenix-based artist Paige Poppe, the Garden launched the Save the Saguaros collection at the Garden Shop. This stunning collection of shirts, prints and souvenir items capture the beauty of saguaros and also highlights the threats they face due to climate change, urban development and invasive species. Poppe’s art serves as both a tribute to the resilience of the saguaro cactus and a call to action for conservation efforts. Proceeds from every purchase supports the Garden’s efforts to save the cactus, including our saguaro initiatives.
