Some of you will be familiar with the Cactus Quest YouTube channel run by Hunter over in the US. My favourite videos of his are the ones in which he visits a cactus grower and shows his audience their greenhouse collection.
I tried something similar last year on my own channel and would love to do more to highlight the collections of British cactus growers.
If anyone would be interested in allowing me to visit and film their collection, I'd love to hear from you (DM me on the forum, or reply on this thread). If you're happy to be on camera that'd be great, but if not I can just film the plants. It's just me and my phone, nothing fancy.
Initially, I'd probably stick to people in the Yorkshire region, but if logistics allow (bearing in mind my fulltime job) could travel further.
I'll leave you with the video tour I did of David Quail's greenhouse in October 2023, which is fast approaching seven thousand views from across the world. Hopefully it signposted people to the wealth of experience on display within the BCSS and may have persuaded some new members to join.

The requested page could not be found.
Seems to link to the old non existant forum.

The text itself works if copied into a browser, but the link is broken for me as well.
