Our club is made up of 137 families and individuals that look forward to sharing their experiences of growing cacti and succulents.

   We meet at botanical gardens, nature centers, nurseries and garden centers, and private homes throughout the state. Meetings are held on the first Sunday of each  month (except holidays) throughout the year (except January). Programs may feature leading experts, practical workshops on particular skills and techniques, and members  sharing their experiences in the field or at home with their plants.

   Our annual Show and Sale is renowned, and everyone looks forward to our summer pot-luck and December Holiday Party.

Monthly meetings at nurseries and private collections around the state, which feature a variety of programs on diverse aspects of cacti and succulents.
