Upcoming Events
Wednesday, January 15, 2025 - Regular meeting at 7 pm.
We need to start work on the 2025 T-Shirt artwork design, so bring in your ideas.  Submit your design soon!  We need to go to the printer by the end of the month.

We will have 2 activities at this meeting.
1)Sieg Lodwig will bring in a few hundred Christmas cactus seedlings to give away. You will have the chance to get different clones so you can breed them to make seeds. He will also have a short talk about how to grow them, and get them to flower year after year.
2)Then we will have a panel of people to answer your questions about growing all kinds of cacti and succulents. We will do our best to discuss all sorts of topics, so bring in your questions. You can also bring in a couple of plants that you need an ID.
Note: The gate to the parking lot on the East side of the Albuquerque Garden Center building will be locked.  It requires a 4 digit code to open.  Members receive the gate code (which has not changed in years) in the email meeting announcement.   Visitors are welcome to follow a member in.
