Nurseries on the way to Freiburg?

Post by Mike »

In December we'll be heading to Freiburg, SW Germany, to see friends, travelling from the UK via the Channel Tunnel.
Just wondering if anyone knows of any good cacti and succulent nurseries in that part of the world? Or perhaps en route (NE France, or Belgium)?

I'm not sure if this is the right part of the forum to post this request - if it's out of place, please feel free to move it!

Many thanks for your help.

I second that! Andreas is also a very nice and friendly chap and his plants are in excellent condition. And whatever he hasn´t on the sales bench you can ask for and in all probability he can find you that plant somewhere in his HUGE greenhouses
It´s also a good idea to look at Cactus Mall,where you can find a map of nurseries in Holland/Belgium and another map for German nurseries. At that time of the year it´s a good idea to phone the nursries you are planning to visit to see if they are still open for customers:ban:
