The Cactus & Succulent Society of San Jose

Welcome! The CSSSJ is a diverse group of people — professionals, casual enthusiasts, and everything in between — with a mutual interest in and fascination for cacti and other succulent plants.

We have regular meetings, usually on the first Sunday of each month, with a speaker giving a presentation regarding a particular topic. We also have two Show & Sale events per year.

We hope you’ll attend one of our events and consider becoming a member!
