One of my favorite stops every time I come to the area! The owner is so friendly and welcoming, I just love the vibe here. They have such a unique variety of plants and cacti, I always find something new for my home. The quality of their plants is excellent, they have all grown to thrive. Prices are very fair, I love supporting local businesses like this and hope they continue to stay around for a long time! read more

I had never been to Cactus Mart in the 10 years or so I've been around these parts. We went last season to get two desert willows and a mulberry, and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. One of the gentlemen on shift was near the end of his shift but went ahead and showed us around, helped us pick out the trees we were looking for among the tremendous selection of climate-appropriate plants. I was shocked at the good deals they had going and their pricing was spectacular for the size of trees they offered. Prices were nearly double at the big corporate garden centers. After we picked them out, they scheduled us for delivery even though we were two towns away, and when he brought them, he was on time and unloaded them too. I let him know I was planting them myself, but he even gave me some tips on helping them survive. It's been a full season and the trees are still alive- in fact, the beautiful Mulberry has roared back to life from its dormancy. Really amazing plants, really amazing people. read more

Such a fun place! A must stop if you are in the area! Great selection and nice staff too.

Nice calming, eclectic place, with many, many facets that capture you. Your senses get wakened at each turn. We're glad we found it, & some others, on Yelp. Needed some cactus/succulent luv. Prices are decent. Will be back. read more

Our favorite place to stop by when telling friends and family about all the fun things to do in the desert! Cactus Mart is a staple that has been a favorite place to get inspired by native desert plants and even have fun potting your own cactus! They have great prices on a wide variety of cactus, flowers, trees, and so much more. Love how they transformed the nursery area into a whole experience with different places to walk around-- from the pond, to alien metal crafts, and a desert tortoise if you're lucky, there's so much nature and art to see here. Staff is always so friendly and helpful-- they always make sure to check in and are more than willing to give a helping hand with bigger plants that you might need to haul in your car. The gift shop has a great selection of local art and fun souvenirs to take with you on your desert adventures-- great spot for the family! read more

Awesome nursery and shop in the high desert. Recommend a stop on the way to Joshua Tree. Beautiful huge selection of succulents, garden decor and plants. Very fair pricing. Lovely to stroll and peruse the massive selection of goods, cool creations and sweet sights. Excellent customer service, very kind staff. Also a big selection of souvenirs and swag. Locally made honey, candles, candy and art - nicely curated collection. Not to mention the animals. Stop by to visit the shop cat Butch. And the Tennessee fainting goats out back are awesome creatures! Fun place to stop and visit in Yucca on your way to JT or the national park. read more

We had a fabulous time here! From reviews and the low cost we were encouraged to dig and build our own cacti plant. In total with all the materials, I would say the cost came out to 7ish dollars. I also chose to buy multiple mini cacti for my project and the pot cost was about $3-4. The cacti and plant gardens are definitely worth exploring. Even if you do not want to build your own cacti pot, there are succulents and other plants available to purchase. Many are semi rare and worth buying from this location since prices aren't expensive and their pot collection is worthy! Staff is friendly and they love their cat pets who will greet you as you walk around! read more

I love dropping in here when I have the time. First to look at succulents: this is the best selection of succulents in the Valley. Local cactus, exotic Euphorbia, aloes...they have them all. On top of that, this is the best place to get native plants for the garden. While other places sell hundreds of bougainvillea, tecoma, and lantanas, Cactus Mart grows and sells real native plants. I have purchased sages, salvias, buckwheat, mesquite, opuntia, and red barrel cactus, and they have all thrived in my garden. Also good for native bird and butterfly plants. If you need milkweed or chuparosa, they have them. read more

I would give this gem a thousand stars if I could. I make sure to make the stop anytime I'm going to Joshua Tree or Palm Springs. Big Cactus Girl here! I could spend hours just looking. The workers are always so helpful and the cutest cats on the property. Just stopped in on Wednesday and purchased 3 new ones for my garden. Will be in again soon! read more

We've driven by this place so many times before, and finally stopped in for a visit this weekend, and were not disappointed. The team working there were so friendly, outgoing, knowledgeable and generally nice folks to chat with. Picked up a few new additions for our garden, got home and transplanted, and am so pleased at how healthy our new plants are, they're thriving. Bonus points for all the cute cats snoozing around the property! Love this place and will make it a regular stop from now on. read more

If you're ever in the area in Morongo Valley and you're into succulents and cacti. Make sure you stop by Cactus-Mart. This place is fantastic. They carry many different types of rare and common succulents and cactus as well. The prices are super cheap too. You can also dig up your own little cacti.

I came here to dig my own cacti and I had so much fun. They have a small selection of cacti for you to "dig up". The baby cacti are in small tiny pots. You pick a pot (different prices) and regime these small cacti with some tongs. The soil is $1. It cost me 79 cents per baby cactus. I had such a fun time. I brought some rocks I picked up along my trip to Joshua Tree and decorated my potted cacti to avoid paying $1-$2 per crystal. This is such a unique souvenir to bring back. My pot was $10. I highly recommend this shop to make your own cactus potted plant. read more

My partner wanted to check this spot out... so we checked it out. Parking: Plaza parking and street parking. Since it ain't THE place to be able to find spots. Feels: It's between two small towns and a neighborhood. The mart itself is pretty big. You have all these selections of plants - succulents, cactus, rocks, and souvenirs. CUSTOMER SERVICE: The servers were great. Friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. OVERALL: 4 Stars. I dig the spot. I'm not familiar with this general location but seemed like a popular spot. There were plenty of different plants for reasonable prices. Something worth checking out if you're in the area. Tips: * Keep your eyes and reaction sharp * Dig your own cactus right here! read more

Feeling down? Come here? Feeling good? Come here! Whether you want to purchase or browse, Cactus Mart will put a smile on your face. My intention for the day was to find local Yucca Valley stores today but my intuition told me to stop to browse plants. I am so happy I did! A huge selection of reasonably priced gems including but not limited to: succulents, cacti, native plants, and refrigerated drinks to keep you going if you have a long day ahead. Don't forget to browse the indoor gift shop selling T-Shirts, handmade magnets, stickers and more. The staff is outgoing, helpful and friendly. Beautiful is an understatement. Thank you for allowing outsiders an opportunity to see your magical creations! read more

Decided to stop in on way to Joshua Tree and I found a few cacti and succulents I don't already own (and I have a lot!). I really didn't explore the full property but what I saw was really nice. Lots of healthy looking plants at decent prices. Didn't see any employees until I went to pay, the gentleman at the register was very kind and made sure we had a box for all the goodies. read more

My husband and I were taking a mini vacation in Joshua Tree when we decided to take some cacti back home :) The employee was extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming! He helped us pot our little dig your own 79 cent cacti and made it look cool. There's so many things to see around the place such as a koi fish pond, cats, sculptures, and other plants. Definitely stop by Cactus Mart on your way in or out of Joshua Tree! read more

Fabulous selection of healthy cacti, succulents and other desert plants. I love to go here!

We have been looking for some affordable cacti for our place in LA, and we finally found the nursery we will buy from. They have a great selection of many things - cacti, pots, lawn decor, bistro sets, native plants, succulents, crystals, and more! Not to mention they have an incredible retail space both indoor and outdoor with lots of fun roaming to be done. You can tell this place has heart with its very special vibe. I recommend coming here and checking out the goods. The best part is the price is right. There is parking in the front. The folks are willing to help you with anything you need. But plan to come with an empty trunk so you can fill it up with your purchases! read more

Came here to peek at some plants but ended up staying for over an HOUR admiring all the plants and animals!! As I was shopping, I discovered lounging cats, chickens, fish, and a tortoise... SO CUTE and was such a nice surprise. It was also so neat to put together a "plant your own" set-- my boyfriend and I each picked our own pots/saucers and chose our 79 cent plants to put in. They provide you with soil, containers, shovels, and tongs to put your plant together. We loved how it turned out. The employees here are incredibly kind and helpful :) Will definitely be coming back for more plants! read more

This place was pretty sweet, I recently went on a solo trip to PS for a few days, it was more of a cactus and desert landscape journey to get inspiration for our home in Sacramento. I ended up going to a few different nurseries in and around Palm Springs during my visit. Cactus Mart was my favorite of the bunch, there was charm from the minute you turned your blinker on into the parking lot. The place itself is beyond adorable and offers a lot of charm, the staff and owner were extremely friendly and helpful, they greeted me as soon as I entered the nursery area (the other nurseries in the area no one greeted me). They had an awesome variety of plants, succulents, cactus etc. and a ton of neat decorative pieces. I ended up buying this human sized dinosaur made of metal. I suppose if any points were to be deducted is that I think compared to some of the other nurseries the prices were just a tad higher. This can be expected for any small or family owned business, especially in a tourist area. This place was really awesome and I will definitely be going back when I am in the area again. I liked it so much I bought a sticker and it's on my car now :) ~ The Modern Gay Dads ~ read more

What can I say about the Cactus-Mart? It has all the cacti your prickly heart desires. It is a pretty interesting place and you can plant your own cactus. Other things are for sale such as yard art and there is even a hardware store on site. Probably the highlight of the place is that you can plant your own cactus. Which is what the Mrs. did. Cactus-Mart is almost like a desert roadside attraction. Aside from the many cactus and other desert plants, there are chickens and two very large, well fed cats. The employees were very friendly and very knowledgable on the subject of cacti. Due to COVID, you need to wear a mask so if you are one of those grouchy people that doesn't feel that you need to wear a mask don't bother visiting the Cactus-Mart. read more

NICEST STAFF . Stopped by cactus mart on our way home from our mini vacation to Joshua Tree. Here are my thoughts: * Large selection of rare and common succulents * Decent selection of indoor plants * They let you pot the plants your purchase at an outdoor potting area which is super nice * They have the nicest cutest cats * The owner was extremely friendly and helpful when we asked about our Madagascar Palm * Large selection of outdoor plants as well. A definite must when you are out in that area. We will definitely be returning next time we visit Joshua Tree! read more

Grew up in morongo and now returning as an adult to do the "dig your own cactus" experience! Good assortment from a fresh shipment of baby cacti to choose from. Some still have flowers or blooms off of them from spring as well! Just grab a cardboard box and some tongs to grab the lil guys out of the trays. Then we had chosen a pot and used their available cactus potting area to make our arrangement. The entire area is very nice to walk around and appreciate some of the natural desert fauna, a nice koi pond, a desert tortoise, and wild chickens and cats(Sundance and Butch). John helped us out and was really wonderful! Explained some of the cacti we had chosen, including their names and regions of origin. As well as some general cactus mart information we asked about, so thanks again! Bought one of their shirts to help support them after this whole corona virus shut down as well, had some unique designs. read more

The cutest shop!! Definitely stop by if you're on the way to Joshua Tree. My boyfriend and I dug our own cacti and it was so much fun. You grab a pair of tongs, pick any cactus and pot it yourself. What a great way to bring a piece of the desert home with you. The shop is a lot bigger than I expected. There are so many other plants you can choose from. They also sell a bunch of stones and crystals as well as other stuff you can purchase as souvenir. Staff was super friendly & helpful too. Tons of parking space. Will stop again when I visit Joshua Tree. read more

My family has been coming to Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree since 1992, and after years of passing this place and thinking the "dig your own cactus" thing was a joke, we finally stopped in about 7 years ago. You know what? Should have stopped sooner. Their selection right now is not the best I've seen as before, but who hasn't fallen on hard times these days? Their prices are still great. They have a bunch of local pieces of art for purchase and small-scale printed booklets on uses of local plants as well as local UFO sightings and so on. And for all of you into crystals, they have a small but well-priced collection available. And their soaps?! Oh man, I wish I had bigger paychecks so I could buy this stuff in bulk and always shell that good. This is also the home of Butch and Sundance, the two store cats who catch peoples' attention as much as anything else in the store. Unfortunately, on my last visit the owner informed us that Sundance (the brother of Butch) had passed in August. If you stop by, give Butch a little extra love. read more

Big fan of both plant shops and roadside attractions, and if you ask me, Cactus-Mart is both. Located just outside of Joshua Tree, this shop is a lovely place to stretch your legs before hitting the park or a final stop before heading back to LA (the latter option is probably better if you're planning on picking up some plants!). The shop itself is comprised of a few different rooms full of cacti and succulents, plus a big back area with some larger varieties. There's also a front room with crystals, some snacks, gift-y things, etc. I love that there are chickens running around and a cool old cat sleeping near the register. The staff is quirky and kind, and I found all of the prices to be fair (especially compared to LA!). read more
