Mid-Iowa Cactus & Succulent Society
Welcome to the Mid-Iowa Cactus & Succulent Society! We are a small but vibrant group of cactus and succulent enthusiasts based in Des Moines and the surrounding areas. The club has been active since 1970, and is an affiliate of the Cactus & Succulent Society of America (CSSA).
What we do
We meet monthly, typically on the third Sunday of each month at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden. If you're in the area and have an interest in the hobby, we'd love to have you join us! All ages and experience levels are welcome.
Our meetings feature a variety of activities including:
- Presentations about growing techniques, particular plant genera, and a balanced mix of technical and beginner-friendly content
- Hands-on activities like planting, propagating, and building arrangements
- An annual Display and Sale, where members showcase their best plants and vendors offer exotic plants and supplies for sale
Heated debates about taxonomic revisions- Bringing cool plants to show off, sharing plants and supplies, diagnosing plant problems, and just chatting about plants!
See Events for upcoming meeting info.
