The Living Desert Wildlife and Botanical Park
![The Living Desert Wildlife and Botanical Park desert](http://drfumblefinger.com/wp-content/themes/CleanStyle/scripts/phpthumb/phpThumb.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fdrfumblefinger.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F06%2Fdesert.jpg&w=155&h=96&zc=1)
Unless you’ve driven across them, it’s hard to comprehend how vast the deserts of the American Southwest are. While at first glance the region seems nearly lifeless, it’s rich in a diverse variety of hardy plant and animal life. An excellent way to see this assortment of desert life is to stop everywhere and explore. A much easier and more convenient way is to visit a botanical garden which, while not a perfect experience, is highly educational. A place I’d recommend is the Living Desert, located in Palm Desert, California (very near Palm Springs), which provides a one-stop chance to explore the flora and fauna of America’s deserts –with an African sampler to boot!
