Finding and Purchasing Plants

Cacti and succulents are great plants to grow, they have strange and interesting forms. But, where do you find all of the neat plants you see in other's collections?

Meetings:
Monthly meetings are a great way to find new plants. Many members have cacti and succulents for sale and trade at meetings. The newsletter lists links and other plant and supply resources.

Show:
The annual show is a public forum where members and commercial growers sell plants, soil and other growing supplies. Lots of great, unusual plants are available for all budgets. The club can only take cash or checks; sorry, no credit cards.

Foster Homes:
The club will often recieve calls about a plant that needs a new home - it has grown too large, the owner can no longer take care of it or they may be moving. If you have a plant that needs a new home, contact Karen in our club.

Member Sales:
Members with plants for sale.
