I was finally able to visit Lotusland last September. It is located in Santa Barbara, and is a private garden open to the public. Ten years ago, I wanted to visit the garden but it was the day before it formally opened. As the garden is only visited with tour guides, it wasn't a possibility.
This is a garden with stunning collections of cycads, cactuses, desert plants of all varieties. Between Lotusland and Huntington, I saw the most number of desert plants ever. It was a wonderful experience to see them so artistically displayed. I could imagine desert gardening after these visits.
Here is the entrance way with Ganna Walska's dedication.
