Midwest Cactus and Succulent Society

Our club is located in the Cleveland/Northeast Ohio area. Founded in 1936 We are an affiliate of the national Cactus & Succulent Society of America (CSSA).

Whether you're a beginner or a long time collector & grower of cactus and succulents, we meet monthly at the Cleveland Botanical Garden, to learn & share our experiences. The Midwest Cactus & Succulent Society was organized in 1936 by a group of men and women who were interested in the study, collection and cultivation of cacti and succulents. Our members live throughout northeast Ohio. Member exp

ertise ranges from the beginner eager to learn, to the long time collector who loves to share knowledge. We grow our plants on windowsills, under lights, outside in summer, on porches and in greenhouses.

Today was our May meeting and while we were inside, the weather was very 'summer-like' outside. After our business meeting we were treated to a great talk by our club Secretary, Christie Briggs...'The Chelsea Experience! - RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025'. Both Christie and her husband Michael (also a member) love traveling and London is one of their favorite places to visit. While the famous flower show is mainly focused on flowers, plants (of every variety) and trees, there were plenty of cacti and succulents featured in the spectacular displays. This annual show is certainly a 'bucket list' worthy event!
Following Christie's talk, we had our Show and Tell. Members were asked to bring in anything that was in bloom. Featured here are just a few of the beautiful plants our members brought in to show off.
Meeting info for 2026: If you are interested in joining our club, our meetings resume in September. Message us for more details.
