The [[Huntington Desert Garden|Desert Garden]], one of the world's largest and oldest outdoor collections of [[cacti]] and other [[succulents]], contains plants from extreme environments, many of which were acquired by Henry E. Huntington and William Hertrich (the garden curator). One of the Huntington's most botanically important gardens, the Desert Garden brings together a plant group largely unknown and unappreciated in the beginning of the 1900s. Containing a broad category of [[xerophyte]]s ([[arid]]ity-adapted plants), the [[Desert]] Garden grew to preeminence and remains today among the world's finest, with more than 5,000 species.
