Welcome, Visitors!
The Cactus and Succulent Society of San Jose (CSSSJ) welcomes you to our website.
The CSSSJ is a diverse group of people with a mutual interest in and fascination for cacti and other succulent plants.
Succulent plants are among the most bizarre, beautiful, and varied in the entire plant kingdom. If you share our interest in these fascinating and unique plants, or just want to learn more, we invite you to join us at our meetings and have some fun.
If you’d like to become a member, you can do so for $15 a person, or $20 a couple. See the Membership Page for additional details.
