Best to ring before you visit ... limited opening hours towards the end of the year
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Calver Alpine Plant Centre is worth visiting, but unfortunately shut in October and November. Abbey Brook is only open until the end of October.

I agree, though Brian's not always the best at answering the phone.
There's not really anything more, as when this topic came up a few years ago.
