Recharge in PALM SPRINGS
‘The city is surrounded by palm trees and framed by the dramatic backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains’
Anyone who’s new to Palm Springs soon asks the question: how do they keep their landscapes so vividly green? The city may be sat in a dusty plain of ground-hugging cacti, with sunshine 350 days of the year, but the town is miraculously sustained by huge, deep aquifers.
These supply the million sprinklers that keep Palm Springs’ lawns and golf courses luminously lush, and the high bougainvillea hedges refreshed. Even diners at street cafes are regularly spritzed by a fine, cooling mist while they eat. Which, when summer temperatures reach 40 degrees, you’ll be endlessly grateful for.
