Wow, all I can say it's what one might do if you were a billionaire, and had the vision to know what diplomats and people of high order need to relax and get together in a place to great things. I can not express enough my true admiration for their work and legacy!!!! If you can take the home tour as it really shows the love for this unique place and is loving guided by a very knowledgeable staff!!!

This small garden and nursery is a cactus lover’s dream! This multi-generational family collection/business has specimen plants, informed family members who staff the garden and desert tortoises as well! Featuring a Cactusarium, you can take a self guided tour, taking your time to really familiarize yourself with extraordinary plants as well as old favorites. Get a grandson or daughter to tell you the whooole story starting with GreatGrandfather, a Hollywood stuntman (in the EARLY days of film) and a rock hound and cactus collector! Easy to see in one hour, even on a hot day shaded by large trees and cactus, so very comfortable to explore!. You can also buy unusual cacti from around the world!
