Ethel-M Cactus Garden
2 Cactus Garden Dr, Henderson, NV, USA
Description:
The cactus garden called Ethel-M covers an area of only 1.2 hectares, and is a popular place for recreation and walking, both among locals and tourists. This place is located on the territory of the chocolate factory.
Here, with the help of bacteria, snails, fish and algae, the wastewater of the factory is treated to completely clean everything from excess chemicals. This water is then returned to water the gardens. The ponds that are created on the territory of the botanical garden attract the attention of different birds.
Every year there are several events in the beautiful garden. Especially interesting is the holiday, during which a light show takes place among the cacti. The action is free and accessible to the general public.
The garden is amazing in variety - there are 350 species of cacti. This collection of plant life is one of the widest in the United States. In this wonderful place you can find a giant saguaro, a prickly pear, twisted acacia, beautiful willows and other representatives of the flora.
