- Botanical garden walking tour.
Wandering around the Desert Garden at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens. It is a remarkable place with full of nature sounds, a rich history and unique features. Here are some interesting facts about it:
Historic Origins: The Desert Garden was established in 1907 and is one of the oldest and largest outdoor collections of cacti and succulents in the world.
The Biggest Desert Garden
Acreage: It spans over 10 acres and showcases thousands of species of desert plants from North and South America, Africa, and the Middle East.
Architectural Beauty: The Desert Garden is not just a botanical marvel but also features stunning architectural elements like the iconic blue-tiled benches and the historic California Mission Revival-style architecture. One of the most beautiful places to visit.
Rare Specimens: Visitors can find rare and endangered species of cacti and succulents here, including the unique and massive "Golden Barrel" cactus.
Ancient Cacti: Some of the cacti in the garden are over a century old, adding to the historical significance of the collection.
Thematic Zones: The garden is divided into various thematic zones, including the Australian Desert Garden, Old World Desert Garden, and New World Desert Garden, each representing different arid regions of the world.
Conservation Efforts: The Desert Garden actively participates in conservation efforts, propagating and preserving rare and endangered desert plant species.
Research and Education: The Huntington's Desert Garden plays a vital role in research and education, helping scientists and horticulturalists study and learn more about arid-adapted plants.
Seasonal Beauty: Despite its arid nature, the garden displays seasonal beauty with desert wildflowers and other surprising bursts of color throughout the year.
Educational Programs: The Huntington offers educational programs, tours, and workshops for visitors to learn more about desert plants and conservation.
Visiting the Desert Garden at the Huntington Library and Gardens is a unique experience for anyone interested in the beauty and diversity of arid-adapted plants from around the world.
quiero volver a visitarlo,espectacular
Nosotros tambien. Us too.
While the desert garden is ideal in such an arid place as the Southwest of the USA, the entire Huntington Estate contains multiple amazing gardens. To me the estate is one of the finest things to see in SoCal. Many specimens of all types are close to 100 years old. So you get to view beautiful mature plant life. The gardens are meticulously maintained. There is a research library. If I lived there I would go very often and those who do are lucky to have it.
Well said Aldo.
Very beautiful, I’m heading to California in 10 days and will definitely be checking this garden out. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Happy to share. The place is huge with different gardens i.e. Japanese, Chinese, Rose gardens among many others.

Thank you for the wonderful video💚 Beauty☘️
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed.
สวยงาม ฉันรักมัน 😍😍😍
Thanks for the lovely comment. Please come back and check from time to time for more beautiful places and things.
Was für ein Kaktusgarten! Fast bin ich neidisch, aber einige davon gedeihen sogar bei uns in der Eifel!
Where is Eifel?
The Eifel is in the western part of Germany. The most famous place is the formula one racing course Nürburgring. Nearby is Luxembourg and Belgium. I have some of these cacti in my garden.@@WanderpaW
Thanks for the information Rafael. We would love to visit the area someday and wander around.
When it happens: Please inform us. We would show you that part of Germany. But don´t forget: In the Eifelmountains are some sleeping volcanos. They will erupt in the next 2000 years! And you have to know: I´m 80 now, please take your time!@@WanderpaW
Hopefully someday soon. Are there any interesting stories related to nature or local way of life that we may be able to capture and share with the world?
Красота❤❤
Da! Yes
Awesome, so beautiful, wonderful plants! 🌵💚
They are so cool.
beautiful garden, many thanks for a video! 🌵👍
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed!
2 short ,but i enjoyed it.
Hi @AngelaAndrea-dd4fg - Thank you for the insightful feedback. Hoping to achieve a balance of engaging content and length of the video. Definitely have more footage - still figuring out how to generate productions without making the final cut seem too long - unengaging.
Excelente video.
Glad you enjoyed it. Do you have suggestions for other topics or places?

Hi, The video is nice to watch but I wish there was someone explaining what we are looking at.
Thanks for the valuable input. Duly noted. The video is a walking tour.
Kinda funny title for a 5min video
Hi there- We have similar comment. Thank you for the insightful feedback. Hoping to achieve a balance of engaging content and length of the video. Definitely have more footage - still figuring out how to generate productions without making the final cut seem too long - unengaging. Curious to know time wise what may have been more satisfactory.
@@WanderpaW i like long videos but most youtube users like 10min video or 20min as long form but i would like 45-60min videos if there is talking
Duly noted. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
Hi Anders 😁
It really looks fabulous but you need to get someone and a curator to give a professional tour.. Try Summer Rayes Oaks. UA-cam channel of Plant one on me. I love her tours of personal and professional gardens. I bet she would be on that in a heartbeat.
@srshufelt - Thanks for the valuable input. We would love to have @SummerRayneOaks do a voiceover of a WanderpaW Botanical Garden walking tour or a collaboration. We also like @Plant one on me channel. That'd be awesome just do not know how to make that happen. Unless you have contact with her.
She's a little boring.
