Meetings

Meetings CANCELED until further notice

Due to the restrictions from COVID-19 response, as well as our concern for our member’s health, we will not have meetings until further notice.  Please stay healthy!

SBCSS meets on the 1st Friday of the month at 7:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall at the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church (except December and July – see calendar).  Doors open about 7pm.

Each month we host a featured speaker and raffle a wide variety of plants.  Members often share free cuttings from their own gardens, show special plants on the display table, and bring refreshments to share.

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 North La Cumbre Road 93110 near the upper State Street area of Santa Barbara. Parking and entry to the church are accessed via North La Cumbre Road. Click here for a map.

June 2020 Meeting Canceled

The Board of the Santa Barbara Cactus and Succulent Society sadly cancels the June 2020 meeting due to the current Stay Safer at Home directive from our Governor. We hope that all of you are staying safe and healthy. We look forward to being able to resume our regularly scheduled meetings.
