Lonely Planet review

Tahquitz too taxing? The Living Desert too far? The Moorten Botanical Gardens packs some 3,000 specimens of cacti, succulents and other desert flora into a small lot south of town. Founded in 1938, the garden became the life's passion of Slim Moorten, one of the original Keystone Cops, and his wife Patricia; today their son Clark is an expert on low-water vegetation.
