FYI: Members of the Tucson Cactus & Succulent Society are also eligible to show plants in the CACSS show. Welcome Tucson cactus friends!
The 2024 CACSS & DBG Annual Show and (mini) Sale is just around the corner! In this video, one of the master growers from the CACSS, Cliff, shows us some easy tips and tricks to prepare your plant for a cactus and succulent show - some tricks that even surprised me when I first learned about them. If you are thinking about showing your plant for the first time, do not hesitate and do not feel intimidated. Remember the most important tip is to have a ton of fun.
This year's CACSS & DBG Annual Show is open for public viewing on May 17-19 at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, AZ. Even more fun than attending the show is to participate in the show! All CACSS members are eligible to show your favorite plants (please see the link to the show rules & guidelines below). If you're not a CACSS member today, it is not too late to join and show your favorite plants!
To register as an exhibitor to the show:
1. Register at the club meeting on April 28
2. Register when you drop off your plants on May 15th at the DBG
3. If #1 or #2 above do not work for you, please contact the CACSS here: centralarizona...
