Why in the **** do we keep propagating more cacti & succulents? Why, so we can donate them to our annual Country Store!
Do you need want more plants? Do you have way too many plants and want to get rid of some? We collect cacti and succulents—it’s what we do! But we are often conflicted between the need to reduce and the desire to add to our collections. Welcome to the Country Store where we try to solve this dilemma for you or at least make it easier to rationalize coming home with more plants.
It’s time for Club members to start gathering donations of cacti, succulents, pots, and cacti and succulent themed items (books, clothing, pictures, jewelry, etc.) to bring to our annual Country Store on Monday, September 22, 2025. If you don’t have any extra plants, how about baking some sweet treats like cookies, brownies or cupcakes? A drawing will be held for donated
items with tickets being sold before 7PM that night.
Bring your donations in early (6:15) so we can get set up and you can see what’s available. There will be a silent auction where you can get great deals on higher valued cacti and succulents and other cacti and succulent related items. The Silent Auction has exploded over the last .couple of years with some amazing items being donated by our amazing Club members!
Attending the Country Store is one of the great perks of being a Club member. You can add several new plants, inexpensively, that have been generously donated by other Club members. And on that note: To be successful, we need your donations! Please start setting aside the items you would like to donate. You do not want to miss this event. You do not have to donate items to participate! We will have more details at the August meeting.
New members: If you are unable to attend the August meeting, but have questions about how the whole thing works, feel free to call or text Bill McCabe at 916-225-5974.
