Moorten Botanical Garden - Palm Springs, CA

On a low-key vacation day in Palm Springs we went over to the Moorten Botanical Gardens. It was one of the places I had read about but just hadn't made it to before.  

It is tiny, and entry is only $4.00. They have a really diverse collection of cacti and other succulents. Everything is well marked and there are many benches scattered about so that you can just sit and enjoy the gardens. They also have a nursery and just some spectacular specimens for sale.

I was amused by the hairbrush cactus.

Several of the cacti were in bloom.

And luckily I had the What's that App to figure out what this one was:

And some interesting plants in the greenhouse.

They packed in a lot in such a small space.

A bit of history as well.

And some fun garden decor.

Everywhere you looked, something new.

Including outside the restrooms.

There were a few birds in there as well, so we squeezed every dime out of that $4.00 and spent quite a lot of time in what is really a small area.
