Its difficult to imagine somebody maintaining cacti in place where peak temperature hardly reaches 30 deg. C. But I was positively surprised to see healthy growth of these desert plants here. They have many varieties from the smallest to largest. Also have a small flower garden with a view of the city. Owner's residence is in the same premises. There... More

It was fun to see our native cactus raised and praised as exotic beauties. Many were in bloom and were truly spectacular - it is hard to catch them in bloom in the US unless you live in the southwest. They have varieties we have never seen.

They have a very nice collection of cactus and other mountain plants, but the staff are not very polite and dont seem to want to share their knowledge.

A decent photo op. Neat and clean. Do not touch anything. Do visit as a curiosity. I was impressed at the organisational effort of the nursery. I wish there were other varieties of plants.

Although the access was not easy, it was surprisingly beautiful and interesting. We had the opportunity to talk to the owner of the nursery and know more about the history of the place.

Vast array of cacti which will appeal to keen gardeners. Didn't really hold my interest on any level to be honest although the views from this location were lovely. It is touching that this place has come about from the personal endeavour and passion of one family, and that is commendable.

A great collection of cactus. Surprised to see such a huge variety of cactus with their beautiful flowers. But the collection is not very organised; even name and origin of the different varieties are not displayed properly. They should arrange paid guided tour for the interested visitors to make them familiar with the large cactus-family.

We visited the cactus nursery expecting to see orchids. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of cactus in all shapes, sizes and with beautifully coloured flowers sprouting out of them. Definitely not a wasted trip, though exercise caution, its better to walk in a single file to avoid damaging yourself and the cactus. Nominal fee of 10/-... More
