The Dublin and District Cactus and
Succulent Society
a Branch of the British Cactus & Society zone 17. |
|
The aim of the members is to grow
and flower Cactus & Succulent plants successfully but
it is difficult to find plants and information on them in Ireland, but this
site will help.
Many people have a succulent or cactus on a windowsill or perhaps a few
in a porch so this Society
was formed in 1992 to enable those with an interest in these plants to meet
and discuss.
The Society now has on average 28 members who hail from every corner of
the country;
some with no more than 6 plants to those members who have two full glasshouses.
