    Cactus Country is not open on Mondays and Tuesdays, but I rang to check and she allowed us to visit on the Tuesday! Great service! I love cactus plants and didn't want to miss this visit. Was totally amazed at the size of this place and the many different varieties on display in the garden. Some were huge! Others were fruiting! I don't think I have ever seen this many cactus! A truly unique experience! I wanted to buy a couple of the ones I had seen and was very disappointed when I seen the store. Poor selection and very over priced. They didn't have the ones I had seen in the garden and wanted. Buyers are also forced to buy larger more expensive specimens which may be more difficult to move and travel with. Not at all what I had expected from a specialized cactus retailer, especially after paying so much to visit the garden. Difficult to admit, but I had been really excited about the visit and enjoyed the garden but I actually left quite disappointed. Was it unreasonable to have high hopes of returning home with a new exciting cactus plant?

    This is an amazing creation from one man's vision! Easy walking around all the winding paths amongst every kind of cactus you can imagine! The collaborative paint works and other art add a nice touch to the garden. Friendly and informative staff, lots of little cacti to purchase aswell as larger ones. Highly recommend a visit!
