Monthly Meetings
In person meeting have started again. Third Tuesday of every month at the Christ Lutheran Church, 1701 Arroyo Chamiso Rd., Santa Fe 87505 at 6:30 PM
EACH MONTH THE SANTA FE CACTUS AND SUCCULENT CLUB SHARES A GREAT PROGRAM WITH MEMBERS AND GUESTS. ALL ARE WELCOME AND MEETINGS ARE FREE TO THE PUBLIC.
The club meets the 3rd Tuesday every month at 6:30pm. In person meetings at the Christ Lutheran Church 1701 Arroyo Chamiso, Santa Fe, NM start again on March 15th at 6:30 PM. Masks are required as of now.
Our meetings begin with announcements and an informal show and tell of our Plant of the Month.
At the meetings, we often have a donation plant raffle and give away plants to members on their second meeting attendance so it's a great place and time to pick up new specimens! Members are always welcome to bring plants to swap with one another.
A diverse array of topics are covered in our monthly program from travelogue presentations from those who have journeyed to visit plants in their natural habitats to panel discussions on plant care and tutorials on seed starting.
At these meetings, you will also have a great opportunity to connect with experts who can answer your cacti and succulent care questions.
We love to have refreshments to share at our meetings, so the club rotates an alphabetical list of members to contribute refreshments each month. Currently there will be no refreshments due to Covid 19 protocols.
We have a Holiday Gathering in December in lieu of our monthly meeting. We typically have an auction and it is a general fun time to connect with one another and review the past year.
