Cactus and Succulent Society of New Mexico

Upcoming Events
Wednesday, March 19, 2025 - Regular Meeting with final planning for the Spring Show and Sale in April. 
We will also have the new t-shirts available in all sizes. There are also a small number of long sleeved t-shirts and sweatshirts available.  So arrive early!

Donnie Barnett from Pueblo, CO will be our speaker "Cool Plants for a Hot Garden" - tough plants that can survive a hot summer and a cold winter. This is an overview of plants that Donnie has trialed in his Colorado rock garden; these plants have survived below 0°F and over 110°F.  High elevation, extreme UV sunlight, poor soil and drought are among the challenges these plants face. Specifically he will cover Cacti, Succulents, Mesembs and Perennials that work in our desert climate.
Steven Brack says "I have had the pleasure of visiting the Barnett Garden at their house and it is very impressive. It will inspire you to try all sorts of plants out in a xeric garden."
Donnie also runs the online nursery 'Ethical Desert' where he ships plants grown in his greenhouses. He will bring plants for sale also. He will accept credit cards as payment. So please arrive early and bring boxes to take plants home.

This meeting will be in the "BIG" room where we hold the Spring Show & Sale.

We plan on broadcasting this program on Zoom.
