Moorten Botanical Garden

Spent more time visiting here than expected! Tons of cacti, succulents, huge agave, and other plants. You can tell they really care for them. Saw a ton of hummingbirds, wild doves, tortoises, and senior doves that live on site. Lots of cacti/succulents available to purchase too. Everyone that works there was very friendly and enthusiastically answered my many questions. It’s well worth the visit especially if you love plants and animals! My tip is take your time. It’s easy to miss some hidden gems here if you rush through!

Wonderful family owned sanctuary. Lots of birds and we saw a bunny friendly owners shared the house history with us. Definitely a pleasant experience if you like plants and 🌵. $5 entrance and they do have a restroom 🙌🏽. Bought a lil 🌵 for $5. Thanks

Recommend visiting this small botanical garden to see their impressive collection of plants, minerals, and desert tortoises. Large free parking lot with limited hours. Located right off downtown Palm Springs area.

Very nice place to visit and unique experience! Nice and relax place to see some unique trees. Easy accissible and friendly staff. Cheap entrance to support them in maintaining it. You can really see it as just nature, cause there are a lot of birds there as well. There was also a small shop available for magnets and cactus purchasing. Really nice stop and 30 to 45 min walk and photo moment! Would recommend it.

Beautiful garden so thoughtfully created. I really loved strolling through this garden with my sister in the early morning. it was warm but there were small pockets of shade and gorgeous succulents, cactus, and other desert plants to appreciate and learn about.

Loved this cozy, authentic, family-owned & operated arboretum (Grandpa & Granddaughter were running it the day we visited ❤️). All of the 3,000+ plants were labeled, and organized in this wonderful, oasis. Loved the enclosed green house, "Cactarium" with tons or gorgeous cacti varieties. Founded in 1938. Wear walking shoes & dress appropriately, you follow a dusty, uneven trail. Loving my 5 purchased cacti that i brought back to NJ!! Well worth a few hours of your day - Enjoy!

I had an incredible time at the Morten Botanical Garden. I was really impressed with every twist and turn of the gardens path. It’s hard to believe that so many of these amazing plants are all so close together and living in harmony. The cactarium is stunning as well. The admission is $5 dollars and they have a nice selection of cuttings from plants and pottery for sale if you are interested. It’s such a peaceful spot, I am very glad that I went!

Small and very quick to buy tickets and get started on a self guided tour. They give you a little paper map, but it’s not necessary to find your way around. In addition to the cacti and succulents, I saw plenty of little birds (a hummingbird too!), a few little lizards scurrying thru and ofc the tortoise on the green grass munching away! Wish I had room in my suitcase to take all the plants and cool pottery from the gift shop home! If you like desert plants this is a perfect stop!
