Desert Botanical Garden will purchase Chihuly art

If you haven't yet been to the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, here's one more reason to go.  The trio of yellow-green desert wildflowers above aren't real.  Called "Desert Towers," they are one of 17 pieces of glass art by Dale Chihuly that were on display at the garden in 2008-2009.  Now the garden has nearly raised the $800,000 to purchase it and add it to its collection of public art.  You don't even have to pay to see "Desert Towers."  It is currently on loan and can be seen at the garden's front entrance.  Desert Botanical Garden is located at 1201 N. Galvin Parkway in Phoenix.
