Obesa Nursery
This astonishing cactus and succulent specialty nursery is worth getting lost in for a while, as its expansive garden wends and winds like a fantastical maze among thousands upon thousands of spiky plants and quirky sculptures and animal skulls. Johan Bouwer, a retired lawyer with eccentric tendencies and very strong, colorful opinions on just about everything (including American politics—you've been warned), started his cactus collection in about 1960. The garden, which is believed to house over 2 million plants and around 5,500 different species (some of them extremely rare) is the result of a relentless obsession and unfettered passion.
