Moorten Botanical Garden

Moorten Botanical Garden, established by Chester “Cactus Slim” Moorten and Patricia Moorten, is a desert oasis filled with thousands of cactus and succulent species from around the world. Located in Palm Springs, the garden offers an intimate experience with over a dozen arid biomes, showcasing plants such as agave, bombax, and aloe. The garden’s unique history is rooted in the Moorten family’s passion for desert flora, and their landscape designs were sought after by celebrities like Walt Disney, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby. Visitors can enjoy guided tours, explore exhibits that replicate natural desert terrains, and even purchase plants from the nursery. Moorten Botanical Garden is a must-see for those fascinated by desert ecosystems and plant life.
