Cactus Courier
Newsletter of the Cactus and Succulent Society of San Jose



What have you done with your Raffle plants or Country Store "booty"?

Whether you came to the most recent Country Store event or a previous one, you usually go home with an odd mix of plants and pots. And what about those raffle plants that are given out at the meetings? They will be a part of this program too! This month's program is an opportunity to show fellow club members how you’ve creatively put together what you’ve received. If you are unsure of what to do with your plants and pots, feel free to bring them in to the meeting and ask for suggestions. I guarantee that you’ll go home with plenty of ideas by the end of the meeting.

(The only rule for this category is to improve upon what you received. If you want to enter the mini show, don’t bring the plant back in the same plastic pot that it came in. Be creative, experiment, and have fun!)
