Santa Barbara Cactus and Succulent Society

Meetings are on the 3rd Wednesday of every month!

Doors open for the meeting at 7:00pm and the program starts at 7:30pm at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Each month we host a featured speaker and raffle a wide variety of plants.  If you have extra plants or pots at home please bring them in to share on the raffle or free plant tables. Members are encouraged to bring in plant specimens for the show-and-tell table.

Our meetings are open to the public. Help to set-up and clean-up are most appreciated.

Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church is located at 909 N. La Cumbre Road, on the corner of Foothill Road (Hwy 192) and La Cumbre Road. Click here for a map.
