But even if the weather doesn’t play along, there are other ways to grab hold of that elusive season, like at the Desert Botanical Garden’s Spring Butterfly Exhibit. There is nothing more spring-like than watching butterflies sipping from their favorite flowers and maybe even stopping to rest on your shoulder. This annual event allows guests the opportunity to mingle with hundreds of the winsome winged creatures in an enclosed pavilion.
