Things to do / Travel Guide
It may be a desert, but the California Desert region is anything but dead when it comes to botanical gardens. Visitors will enjoy two especially-nice botanical gardens, located in Palm Springs. Watch out for those prickly cacti!
Living Desert Zoo and Botanical Gardens
As the name implies, Living Desert Zoo and Botanical Gardens is the place to meet desert flora and fauna. However, its not just about the California deserts. Various gardens feature plant and animal life from Africa, North America and other parts of the world. Think of it as an outdoor museum.
Moorten Botanical Gardens
Another place, specializing in desert plants, mainly from the American West is the Moorten Botanical Gardens, located in downtown Palm Springs. It is on the grounds of “Cactus Slim” Moorten's 1930's era estate and has specimens from as far away as the Namibian Desert. Interested in learning about cactus and other desert flora?
