For the most exotic and the most amazing cactus here in Southern cow this is the place to go. Forget Esty forget Amazon. Do you want generational knowledge in each succulent that you pick up if you want someone to say oh my God that’s amazing this is the place to come.

The store is clean and nice, the staff is very helpful and they have a great selection of plants! I have to travel a long way to get there but it’s always worth while. A fairly large store and the plants are mostly marked with species names 😀
