The Cactus & Succulent Society of Hawaii

Cactus, Succulents and Friendship in Honolulu

The Cactus and Succulent Society of Hawaii (CSSH) is an independent affiliate group associated with the Cactus and Succulent Society of America. Like the national organization the CSSH is dedicated to education, environmental protection, and preservation of these fascinating and unique plants, many of which are threatened and endangered.

MEETINGS -
On Tuesday, May 18th, 2004, CSSH meetings moved back to a renovated Susannah Wesley Community Center at 1117 Kaili St., just below the H-1 Hwy. in lower Kalihi. The easiest way to find it is to make a right turn off North King St., pass the front of Queen's Super Market and continue up to the end of Kaili St.. Susannah Wesley's parking lot will be to your right, at the corner of Kaili St. and Beckley St..Monthly meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday night of months January through November. Plant sales by members begin at 7:00PM. The program for the evening starts at 7:30PM . Refreshments include tasty surprises, and something new and different is usually seen among the door prizes. Come and gain insight into the care and benign neglect of these diverse and drought-tolerant plants. Meet new friends.

Continue to check this website for updates. We hope you can join us. Guests are always welcome.

2007 Membership dues:

A Secret Garden

*** A Picture Album ***
Private gardens, big and small, provide respite from the cares of the outside world. Hodge-podge or formally arranged, a well-kept collection is a joy. When a plant grows and thrives under your care, your level of self-confidence grows. Optimism for daily life perks up. Things are looking good. Great therapy! When your pot floweth over, spread the cheer around. Trim your plants and root the cuttings for others to enjoy. In the spirit of good fellowship, someone will periodically open their sanctuary to visitors. Sometimes there is a yard sale. Free or very inexpensive cuttings, new plants and new perspectives are enjoyed. Here is a chance to look into one of our local gardens.
