The Huntington Desert Garden is one of the amplest and extensive botanical gardens in the world dedicated to the cactus and other succulent plants. On the verge of turning 100 years of antiquity, it was growing from a small area in a step of the hill of Raymond when William Hertrich began to take and to plant cactus and other specimens that obtained in commercial nurseries, from privated collections, botanical gardens and from harvesting trips by the South of the United States and deserts of Mexico. Nowadays the 24 succulent different Families, all from barren zones, some of them already adapted, coexist and they are developed in an area of  40,000 m2 of landscaped zone. This zone of the garden is the most important collection from the point of view of the conservation, a laborious mission and a challenge.
