On our vacation last week, we went by
Poot’s House of Cactus
twice – driving into the Sierras and then going home. In the
14 years we have been camping at the U.C. Berkeley
Lair of the Golden Bear in Pinecrest, California, we have always
meant to stop at Poot’s. This year, we finally did. Poot’s is right
on the freeway between little towns and almond groves. It
has the most amazing cactus showroom and garden I have ever seen.
Only a small part of the collection is for sale. We came home with
six new plants (cacti, euphorbia, and succulents) and lots of photos.
Driving home with a truck full of kids, sleeping bags, dirty laundry, and cactus was interesting. Here is Poot’s
address:
