We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of every month except for July and August, at 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.
