We have launched a new Special Offers page and for our first offering we are giving you the opportunity to purchase some cacti and succulents raised by the late Terry Smale, who sadly passed away earlier in the year.

We have also updated our availability list with over 70 new species added.

The new year brings in some changes and challenges to the cactus growing hobby with the requirement of phytosanitary certificates and CITES permits to import and export plants. It is due to the cost of these requirements that we are now unable to ship plants to Northern Ireland and the EU.
