This spring, we invite you to come together for a spectacular evening at a historic ranch in the foothills of the Superstition Mountains for an event to support Boyce Thompson Arboretum during its Centennial year.

For generations, Boyce Thompson Arboretum has been a sanctuary where all are welcome to bask in the beauty and wonder of nature and escape from the chaos of the modern world.

Since its founding in 1924, the Arboretum has exponentially grown in mission and size to become Arizona’s oldest and largest botanical garden. Nestled along the scenic Queen Creek Canyon that runs through the Town of Superior, BTA is a living museum of arid-land trees, plants, and landscapes. For its milestone anniversary, the Arboretum has planned a full range of programs and initiatives that honor 100 years of history while embracing a new vision for the future.

Boyce Thompson Arboretum’s founder, Colonel William Boyce Thompson, realized one hundred years ago what we still believe today: All life depends on plants. This community event will directly support the continued preservation and enhancement of one of Arizona’s most iconic institutions to ensure that future generations can experience the wonder, beauty, and importance of our natural world.
