Enjoy the holiday season at the three-acre Botanical Cactus Garden adjacent to the Ethel M Chocolate factory in Henderson. Go see more than half a million colorful lights throughout the property. This annual Southern Nevada tradition attracts thousands for a day/night beautuiful lights, choral music, and of course, chocolate. The Ethel M Holiday Cactus Garden is free of charge.

Ethel M® Chocolates' breathtaking Botanical Cactus Garden is Nevada's largest and one of the world's largest collections of its kind. Based on the English landscape model of naturalistic design, the Ethel M® Botanical Cactus Garden features four acres of drought-tolerant ornamentals, cacti, and other succulents.

Over 300 species of plants can be found on the grounds. Half are cacti and succulents largely native to the American Southwest, and the rest are desert trees and shrubs from the Southwestern United States, Australia, and South America. All of these plants were chosen both for the beauty of their floral displays and their ability to adapt to the climate of Southern Nevada.
