Spent a very hot hour or so in the garden and it is incredible- more varieties of cactus than I knew existed! Very sculptural, colorful and intriguing. Gorgeous!

As we are from England, we don't get to see cacti like this. We were overwhelmed with the size, variety and quality of the planting here. Probably best to avoid the midday sun in summer, but when we visited in February it was stunning. I will remember this garden for a very long time.

It's a lesson in itself. I thought that my home garden was extensive - their desert garden has every kind imaginable plus they labelling of each plant was a real education. This will inspire me to greater heights with my personal garden.

It has tons of different desert plants with different textures, shapes and sizes. So much fun to look at and to learn about.

See it in the afternoon as the sun is low in the sky. The colors are so vibrant then.
