Moorten Botanical Garden.

Moorten Botanical Garden is a historic landmark in Palm Springs, established in 1938 by Chester "Cactus Slim" Moorten and his wife Patricia. This one-acre oasis showcases over 3,000 varieties of desert plants, including cacti and succulents from diverse arid regions like the Sonoran and Mojave deserts. A highlight is the world's first cactarium, featuring rare specimens in a controlled environment. The garden is family-owned, with Clark Moorten continuing the legacy as master gardener. Visitors can enjoy unique landscapes, such as the "Cactus Castle" and Palm Grove Oasis, which is popular for events. Moorten also has ties to celebrities and is conveniently located near downtown Palm Springs, making it an essential stop for plant lovers and those seeking tranquility.
