Moorten Botanical Garden and Cactarium, Desert botanical garden in Palm Springs, California.
The one-acre garden displays over 3000 specimens of cacti and desert plants arranged according to their geographical regions of origin.
Patricia and Chester Moorten, a former Keystone Cops actor, established this garden in 1939 and collected specimens from Mexico and Guatemala.
The Mediterranean style residence, known as Cactus Castle, represents the architectural elements of early Palm Springs within the Palm Grove Oasis.
The garden charges admission fees of 7 dollars for adults, 5 dollars for veterans, and 3 dollars for children between 5 and 12 years.
The garden features the first Cactarium in the world, a specialized greenhouse containing rare desert plants and specimens from the Namib Desert.
