    This is one of the places I always recommend people check out when they visit Palm Springs!!…read more I've been purchasing plants from this shop since they were an online business and I cannot be more pleased to see their physical location. The plants are always great quality and well cared for and I love that we get care cards provided with each plant. The shop in the Flannery Exchange is bright and welcoming and always has something worth checking out. I've purchased a cute watering can, plants, pots, and even a plant puzzle kit. There is no better place to get a plant that is well cared for and this location is so cute! I love the other shops in the building, too, and it seems like all the shops talk to each other and it's a fun little community. There is parking in the back, right by this shop. If you're worried about transporting, this shop will ship! I've had plants shipped and they are so well packaged that they arrive perfect! This is always a great option for a gift as well! I highly recommend checking this spot out! Love supporting a small, minority owned business!

    While visiting Palm Springs, we stopped by Angeleaves Plant Shop and had such a great experience…read more Ian, the owner, was absolutely amazing. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all of his plants and took the time to explain how to properly care for them. He was kind, welcoming, and helped friends and I select the perfect plant for our homes. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and truly cares about helping his customers find the right plant. If you're in Palm Springs, I highly recommend stopping by Angel Leaves Plant Shop and picking up a little plant as a special memory of your trip. Thank you, Ian, for making our visit so enjoyable!

    An easy stroll through what started as a resident's yard, has been transformed into an even larger…read morespace for viewers of all kinds. Privately owned and what appears to still have a home property onsite, Moorten Botanical features over 3,000 species of cacti. Another unique component is the rare Cactarium which is a greenhouse featuring cactus and succulents. Admission is $7 cash or card and there is always staff available to greet guests. A paper map is provided post payment to help navigate the grounds. I recommend sunscreen as a majority of the viewing takes place outside and the sun tends to beat down. Onsite there are a variety of large tortoises in specialty spots enjoying their environment. At the end of the garden, there is a nursery where plants can be purchased along with gardening trinkets. For the value, this is one to not miss! I've been coming here for years since I was a little girl and I enjoy the fact that Moorten sticks to their roots and have kept the layout the same allowing me to feel nostalgia each time I visit. Thank you!!!

    Cactus lovers will be pleased to know that $7 and about 30 minutes of your time buys a relaxing…read morestroll through the Moorten Botanical Garden; a small investment to experience 3,000 desert cacti varieties, as well as a Cactarium, their term for a greenhouse that contains rare plant species, along the short pathway. Loved spotting giant Agaves, Prickly Pears with pretty purple flowers, & the globe-shaped Golden Barrels. Succulents, ceramic pots, & figurines are for sale at the end of the self-guided walk. I noticed a few birds singing happily in their enclosure. Benches are available when a break from the afternoon heat becomes necessary. A slow & serene stop in Palm Springs.
