All About Show Judging!

Whether you’re just starting out as a hobbyist or you’ve been growing for years, He’ll offer practical tips on what judges look for, how to present your plants at their best, and how understanding the judging process can deepen your appreciation for the incredible diversity and beauty of cacti and succulents.
