South Coast Botanic Gardens

South Coast Botanic Garden je botanička bašta u mestu Palos Verdes Hills, Kalifornija, SAD, koja se prostire na 35ha. U bašti se gaji oko 700 rodova različitih biljaka i oko 2000 vrsta, a posebno su brojne vrste iz Australije i Južne Afrike.

Na mestu gde se nalazi baštu prvo se nalazio rudnik dijatomita. Posle zatvaranja rudnika Los Anđeles je zemljište koristio za odlaganje đubreta. Od 1961. godine započinje revitalizacija celog kompleksa i njegovo pretvaranje u  botaničku baštu.

The Cactus Garden came into being in the early 1970’s, through the dedication of the South Coast Cactus & Succulent Society. Many hours were spent planning and designing this specialty garden. This garden features a desert setting with extensive displays of exotic cactus and succulents found in arid areas all over the world. As part of our ongoing Plant Identification Project, over 100 identifying labels have been placed in the Cactus Garden.
