This place is big indeed. Here are some pics I took when I went there for a show in early July

Hi CHris,

First time there so I'll take your word for it. I spent nearlly as much time wandering around the outside of the greenhouse as there are plants everywhere:cac4:

Next time i go I'm taking either a notebook or a dictating machine as there is just soo much to take in.

Wow, seems an incredible place. My brain would pop! I was amazed even by the plants at the NMK show.

Is it easily accessible by public transport?

I went past it today, without even knowing it was there. I saw the sign and said, "Wow, that's that cactus place everyone talks about. Can we stop for a little while?"

Nope, we were on the way to the beach at Sunny Hunny. Any deviation from the plan was Not Allowed.

If it's not far from the main road, then next time I get to go to Hunstanton, I might be able to wangle a short stop there...

next summer 8-)

Do you have to book in advance to go?
