We often think of succulents & cacti as “desert plants”, but the truth is more complex. Our 2026 show theme "BEYOND THE DESERT" groups plants by their native climate zones, from true deserts and semi-arid areas, to seasonally dry places, and even the humid tropics and other unexpected places.
June 19-21 2025

Friday 3 pm – 7pm
Saturday 9 am – 10am

Sunday and afternoons are always less crowded, so come then if you can.
More space and more registers + additional day (Friday, members only) mean less crowding.
