WHILE SUPPLIES LAST
In honor of the Garden’s 85th anniversary, the Garden created a new interactive and family-friendly guide- Cactus Keepers. Guests can use the guide on the trails to learn about the Garden’s history, plants and wildlife. In it, Poppy, our resident desert tortoise, takes kids on an adventure around the Garden. Families can pick up a copy at the Cactus Clubhouse or Visitor Center.
