Collection considered one of the largest in Europe. It comprises 6,500 species and over 2 million specimens. It's hard to believe that it all began 40 years ago with a cactus in a pot on the windowsill. The acquaintance with another cactus enthusiast resulted in importing the first seeds from Hamburg. Over time, these prickly plants displaced our native vegetables and flowers. In 1982, cacti and succulents already occupied the entire area of the 1,266 m2 greenhouse and ground cultivation. Among them, the Texan varieties stand out, reaching over 7 meters in height, as well as "mother-in-law's chairs" - round cacti with a diameter of one meter, and very rarely flowering in the collection, Haageocerus versicolor and Cereus peruvianus with their blooming underlay.
The collection in Rumia has been repeatedly awarded at various national and international exhibitions. Its headquarters is here, at the Gdańsk Branch of the Polish Cactus Lovers Society. An attractive place on the coast, frequently visited by numerous tours. As a souvenir from the seaside, you can purchase a prickly plant here.
