In a quirky Wild West setting sometimes used as a film backdrop. Turtledoves, hummingbirds, lizards and other small wild creatures also make impromptu appearances among the rocks and plants. Many unusual botanical specimens are for sale along with other souvenirs.
A landmark botanical garden that has been delighting Palm Springs visitors for more than 60 years.
Meet Clark Moorten who will give you a personal tour of the “World’s First Cactarium,” a garden that includes 3,000 fine examples of desert cacti and other desert plants.
A fascinating diversion from your typical resort vacation day: Visit this amazing garden of exotic Cactus and you will never look at those prickly plants the same. If you see Mr. Moorton himself, you may even be lucky enough to get a personal tour. At the very least he will give a great story or two about this most unique collection.
