Photo Impressions of Sky Ranch Lodge Botanical Garden

 

The Sky Ranch Lodge, an amazing hotel next to the small airport in Sedona, AZ, received the arboretum accreditation and botanical garden certification in 2020.  Sitting above the city next to the airport on a mesa with beautiful views over Sedona and its Red Rock mountains.

The garden aims to aesthetically display a diversity of plant life.  They strive to create a sense of well-being while providing an opportunity to observe and admire nature.

Interspersed among the native Mesquite, Cypress, and Junipers you will find a multitude of deciduous and evergreen trees, shrubs, flowers, grasses, and succulents. 

Gracing the property is a massive Agave Americana.  These slow-growing giants bloom only once in their lifetime and were planted over 30 years ago. 

It's small, compared to other botanical gardens.  However, very interesting to walk the grounds and to learn the plant names.

When you are in Sedona, come in person to the Sky Ranch Lodge or email them to inquire for permission to walk the garden.  Unless you stay at the hotel, you are certainly invited to walk the grounds as often as you want.
