Santa Barbara Cactus & Succulent Society

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.
