About Santa Fe Botanical Garden

The garden sits on Museum Hill, southeast of Santa Fe's historic downtown, in a high desert landscape of piñon and juniper trees. Visitors can walk its paths year-round and use the online Garden Explorer to look up plants, view a map, and take virtual tours. The nonprofit also hosts guided walks, school and community programs, and a winter evening light festival called La Luz de las Noches each December.
