Moortons is a spectacular desert garden tucked out of the way and largely unknown even by the locals. In 30 minutes you can see plants from several desert systems around the world, and pick up succulents or cacti for your own garden. Very low entrance fee (the owner loves the place, and is more interested in sharing than making money, it seems).
