Hello, from the West Midlands
Hi everyone! Thought I'd best introduce myself. I'm Ava and I live in the West Midlands. I've loved Cacti ever since I was a child but it's only now that I have begun to keep them. I have done research, but there's still a lot I don't know about these fantastic plants so hopefully I'll learn more here.

Re: Hello, from the West Midlands
Hi Ava,
I Just thought I would let you know that the next meeting of the Birmingham Branch BCSS is an auction/sale meeting which is a great chance to inexpensively expand your collection. You don't have to be a member to come to the meetings (though we do love getting new members!). If you are from outside of Birmingham, I'd recommend visiting Winterbourne Botanic Gardens in the afternoon and getting Derek and Arthur, the BCSS volunteers at Winterbourne, to give you a tour of the greenhouses. They are pretty impressive and they have lots of cactus seedlings for sale.
