Additionally, brief yet informative seminars will be offered throughout the day.
There will be hourly drawings for free plants, a repotting service plus cactus and succulent books, c
ontainers, potting soil, and fertilizers for sale.
CLUB HISTORY - In 1972, the Colorado Cactus & Succulent Society (CCSS) was founded with 8 memberships that have grown to more than 150 members
