Two years ago, we installed a Cactus Display Garden about halfway up the front steps on the right side. The bed is made up of several layers of different media for good drainage, like our Hardy Alpine Trough Gardens.

Thirty Cactus and related Succulents were installed initially, with another twenty-five added last spring. We’ll be adding more as time goes by to demonstrate how easily they survive and add diversity and beauty to a Planted Garden.

Cuttings and offshoots are available for purchase in front of Greenhouse 2; soon they’ll grow up and add much pleasure to your Garden.

The Cactus & Succulents Workshop is Saturday, June 20th, from 10am - Noon. Our very special lecturer will be John Millar, locally-known horticulturist and collector, who will share some amazing things about cacti and succulents. Pre-registration is required. There is no charge for the session.
