Walking in Israel - Hakaktusim Garden - Wednesday Walk Challenge

[alex2alex]

Hello and welcome to "Walking in Israel"

This post if for Wednesday walk challenge And Make me Smile Collaboration challenge.

Today I had errands to do on the other side of my hometown of Holon, Israel.

_{The city of Holon}

I decided to do them by walking and participate in Wednesday Walk Challenge. My walking route took me near the "Hakaktusim Garden" and I took this opportunity to visit the garden.

The garden is called "Hakaktusim" which translates to the Cacti garden. It is filled with a lot of different cacti from all over the world. There are interesting sculptures hidden between the greenery and an artificial waterfall that enhances the garden's atmosphere. The garden is open to the public for free. I always visit it when I am in the area. Each visit I find something new and interesting.

What an amazing garden so nice to visit and explore, I now I went to a couple of Cacti Gardens when I lived in Israel for a few years but not sure if I ever visited that one

Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk, its my pleasure to host it and see all the posts each week from all around the world, including yours, if you have time visit some of the other walks this week there are so many interesting ones

[alex2alex]

I am glad you liked the garden.

This garden is located in my hometown of Holon. When you think "cacti", Holon is probably the last city that comes to mind 😀. I am glad the municipality decided to create such a park.
