Re: The Lullingstone Open Show at Cactus at the Castle.
I regret to announce that the Mesemb show planned by the MSG will not be taking place due to illness. Needless to say, there will still be many other attractions at Lullingstone Castle on Sat. 16th Sept. including the Cactus Mart with ~25 cactus and succulent nurseries, tours of the World Garden led by its creator, Tom Hart Dyke and a "Bring and Sell" plant auction.
