Greater Dallas Organic Garden Club Meeting: Growing Succulents

7700 Northaven Road,Dallas TX 75230

28 August, 2022

Description

Tender, juicy succulent plants are everywhere! From Trader Joes to specialized nurseries to Chinese sellers on Ebay, cacti and succulents have become a big business. Unfortunately, information about the care and cultivation of these unusual plants has not spread nearly as quickly. How much sun? What's the watering frequency? What type of soil do they need? These are just a few of the questions Irwin will answer during his presentation. Additionally, he will bring plants from his extensive collection, so that you can see a broader range of these fascinating, collectible plants. Please join the Greater Dallas Organic Gardening club at North Haven Gardens Sunday, August 28, 2022 when our speaker will be Irwin Lightstone, President of the North Texas Cactus and Succulent Society who promises to give us an exciting discussion about those wonderful and quirky plants.2:30pm refreshments, 3pm meeting start.
