Next meeting: Thursday, June 17, 2010, 6-7:45 PM
(Meeting date has changed to third Thursday of the month.).
For all of us, June means the growing season is well underway, but June also signals the
end of our “meeting” season, with no meetings during July and August. So, to pay homage
to summer and to another successful year for our Society, we will have our annual plant
contest and wine and cheese party. Members are requested to bring in their best cactus
or succulent plant, one plant per member. Only one plant will be chosen for “Best in
Show”. The prize will be the 2008 issues of the CSSA journal (three issues in total).
Please bring in some plants or cuttings for the plant sale table.
Welcome to the New York Cactus & Succulent Society. The NYCSS is a group of cactus and succulent enthusiasts dedicated to growing and learning about this fascinating and diverse group of plants.
We meet on the 3rd Thursday of every month except for July and August, in Room 101 on the second floor of the Jan Hus Presbyterian Church, located at 351 E. 74th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues. Meetings cover all aspects of cactus and succulent growing; formats range from talks to slide shows to sessions on repotting techniques. We also make trips to plant shows and sales in and outside of the city and visit members' collections.
Please join us! Guests are always welcome at meetings.
