Open 8am to 1pm (June 16 - Aug. 31)

At the Wortz Demonstration Garden, enter rustic gates into a magical garden where soothing sounds of water splash into pools, sunlight filters through a green canopy of branches and lush desert plants are artfully arranged. Featured in Sunset Magazine, the Demonstration Garden gives homeowners and landscape architects ideas for using drought resistant plants in their own homes or projects.

Step inside the Palo Verde Garden Center and you'll find the most complete collection of native desert plants in the region, plus charming garden accessories all for sale.

The Palo Verde Garden Center offers a variety of cactus, succulents, flowering ornamental, wildlife food, desert plants and arrangements, as well as landscaping and horticultural books, videos and garden ornaments.

Many of these low-maintenance cacti and succulents make perfect gifts or rock garden additions. A large selection is available and can be custom made to suit your needs.

Further on, immerse yourself in our Cahuilla Indian garden and other botanical gardens containing plant specimens from the Sonoran, Mojave and other North American deserts.

Remember, profits help support The Living Desert and its conservation efforts.
