Moorten Botanical Garden; Palm Springs

Moorten Botanical Garden was founded in 1938 by Chester and Patricia Moorten and remains in the family.  Their son Clark Moorten continues the family tradition today as owner and operator. 
The garden has over 3000 varieties of different plants, mostly cacti, that are strategically placed to create natural paths and seating areas. 

Terry and I enjoyed our visit to the garden yesterday.  Humming Birds were happily click and squeeking while we wondered throughout the natural paths.  The highlight of our tour was when a one of these bumbly little birds came 2 inches away from Terry's face and just hovered there for several seconds.  I was so stunned that I couldn't get a camera shot but I was able to get Terry's attention and he saw it just before it darted away.  What a wonderful moment to share; it was straight out of the Disney movie Pocahontas!

If you live in Coachella Valley or if you are ever visiting the area, stop in to visit Moorten Botanical Garden it will be a nice little break and well worth the $4 to tour.

Upcycled & Recycled on Etsy - Get Your Garden Started

While much of the country is still struggling with winter's ice grip it is still time to start thinking about your gardens.  Many people have little starter plants already growing in their greenhouse or if their like me, they have rows of baby plants in each window.  I always looked forward to the first weeks of April because you could safely start your plants indoors, even in the colder zone 4 climates.  Most often the weather was consistently warm enough by mid to late May.

Today's selection of wonderfully handcrafted upcycled garden items brings new meaning to the phrase "Green Thumb!"  Enjoy and have a blessed morning:
