You should check out the following places as well:

Atlanta Botanical Gardens has agaves and cacti outdoors but on raised berms.

Plant Delights Nursery has pushed the envelope on a lot of tropical plants including cactus and succulents (mainly agaves).

I myself had an old man cactus that survived the winter years ago but then collapsed when we had a "freak" snow in early April. I thought that was strange that it was solid through many 20 degree nights and colder but then fell over after the snow melted. I think the sap must've been up and took in too much water?

Here is a display at the ABG.
