Review:
The Moorten Botanical Garden is a one-acre garden that features cacti and other desert plants. Located on South Palm Canyon Drive, it is a family-owned garden that Patricia and Chester “Cactus Slim” Moorten, one of the original “Keystone Cops,” established in 1938.
The couple collected plants from Baja California, Mexico, and other countries as far south as Guatemala. Today, the garden is home to more than 3,000 plants arranged by geographic region. Group tours are available, and the garden can be rented for special events such as weddings and parties. Call for opening times. If you are looking for things to do in Palm Springs with kids, this is a great place to visit.
