Indoor-outdoor living is the holy grail of life in the desert, so the longevity of @moortenbotanicalgarden hardly surprises us. This South Palm Springs treasure unfolds over an acre consisting of this nursery and a one-of-a-kind “cactarium.”⁠ ⁠ You'll see second-generation owner and caretaker Clark Moorten when you visit. His father, Chester “Cactus Slim” Moorten, opened the garden in 1939 as Museo de Deserto and moved to its current lot with his wife, Patricia, in the 1950s. ⁠ ⁠ Our August issue features more "Bests" from our editors and contributing writers who have experienced their choices firsthand.⁠ Visit our linkin.bio for more.⁠ ⁠ 📸 by @danielastallinger
