Surely there's somewhere in Ireland that sells large cactus plants?!

    I have wanted a tall cactus for years but have never been able to find them for sale in Ireland... I'm nearly thinking of begging my other half to rent a van and heading to England to pick some up!!
    Is there a secret place in Ireland selling cactus that I can't seem to see online?! :)

    At the entrance to the pavilion in Bloom thete was a big display of cacti. Now if only could remember the name of the company 🤔 but the name might be on a promo brochure or if you contact Bloom they might tell you.

    Thank you. I'll send off a hopeful email. Couldn't make it to Bloom myself.

    Harrington turn up to all the plant fairs, they're great. also deal in insectivores as well as cacti and succulents, so I always leave with something when I see them. They might not bring big things to the fair, but you could ask if they have anything in the nursery.

    You'll also find yer lad at the cactus society meetings, if you want to pop down (they're lovely folks) http://www.irelandcactus.com/
