Cactus and Succulent Show and Sale
The Central Ohio Cactus and Succulent Society will be hosting its annual Show and Sale on Saturday and Sunday, May 2nd and 3rd at the Franklin Park Conservatory located at 1777 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio. Show tables will include plants grown by members of the Society, and from the collection of the OSU Biological Sciences Greenhouse Facility. This year's show table will also feature an exhibit of "Ant Plants" - plants which live symbiotically with ants, and have remarkably adapted stems, leaves, and even thorns to provide living spaces for ant colonies.
Our sales table will feature a huge selection of unusual, rare and hard to find succulents grown by members of the Central Ohio, and the Midwest Cactus and Succulent Societies.
Members of the Society will be available to assist with sales, and to provide information on how to properly grow and care for plants, and will provide additional information on the Society.
At 2pm on Sunday May 3rd, Bruce Brethauer will lead the workshop "Awesome Succulents for Young Growers" highlighting a selection of unusual, yet easy to grow succulents for young and novice growers. Featured plants are spine-free, easy to grow, and have been selected for their unusual and interesting features. These will include such novelties as the "Inchworm Plant", "Mother of Thousands", the "Pregnant Onion", the "Carrion Flower" the "Vicks Plant" and others. The program will also include extensive information on general care of cactus and other succulents. All registered participants will come home with a mixed collection of 3 or more plants which they will plant during the workshop.
