collecting named cactus and succulents

Hi everyone I have only just joined this forum and I am not very computer wise (or whatever the term is),I am a Horticulturist and have a 5 acre block with mostly native native plants with exotics mixed in.
I have had an idea in mind for some time now to start a section (2 and a half acres - approx)dedicated to named cactus and succulent specimens that I can put labels next to and record on maps so future generations can see a mini botanic garden type area, and not have to drive over 4 hours to see it (as I have to do when I want to see these plants).The main problem with this as always is "simple economics" the shere cost of everything nowadays is a real dream killer for a lot of projects.
If anyone has spare cactus and succulent plants they can spare I would be willing to pay postage and some cost for the plant material I am not interested in selling plants etc only collecting as many species as possible I am just starting to organise the new area ready for planting and I have concrete moulds made up for the names so the plants remain true to the specimens ANY HELP INFORMATION OR ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THANKS

What a great idea! Id love to contribute. Do you have a collection already? I know that most people would love to swap with you - are you after rare ones or just a general collection? Are you doing desert cactus or jungle (shady) ones? Email me and Ill let you know what Ive got at the moment. Cheers
