e group's work on the Tovrea Castle to be unveiled soon...renovations are wrapping up!

Originally constructed over several years around 1930, the once-lush Cararro Cactus Gardens slowly withered after the Castle was vacated in 1969. But there is new life in the Garden. Since early 2006, city staff and hired contractors have been painstakingly restoring the garden, which provides the lush desert setting for the landmark Tovrea Castle.
Staff with the Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department have worked hand-in-hand with cactus restoration expert Rilée Leblanc and e group to restore the vibrancy of the garden. The Garden boasts more than 5,000 cacti in over 100 varieties.
