Moorten Botanical Garden

Moorten Botanical Garden was founded in 1938 by Chester “Cactus Slim” Moorten, a former actor, and his wife Patricia. This privately owned botanical garden and plant nursery spans across 1 acre of land. Apart from maintaining their own garden, the couple also created gardens for well-known individuals like Walt Disney in Palm Springs. Explore the garden’s nature trail to admire over a dozen biodomes and more than 3,000 desert plants. Additionally, the garden features a plant nursery with a helpful staff, providing assistance to gardening enthusiasts.

Moorten Botanical Garden has become a favorite spot among recent visitors who appreciated its tranquil setting, which provided a welcome break from the urban development nearby. While some visitors considered the garden to be on the smaller side, they still felt that it was a pleasant place to spend about an hour of their time.
