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!!!

Moorten Botanical Garden

Visitors are fascinated by this huge collection of cacti and flowers amid scenic nature trails.

Reviewed By plc52515 - Orange, United States

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!

Oasis Date Gardens

Reviewed By SantaRon - Sun City, United States

Drove from Palm Springs to have a "date shake" here. They have the best in the Coachella Valley! A fun place to view the process of growing and processing many date varieties. Also have taste samples so you can sample then buy!
