CACSS Nursery Bus Trip

Our next biennial CACSS Nursery Bus Trip is August 13th thru 15th, 2010.  Those attending will be treated to the 25th Annual Inner City Cactus and Succulent Show and Sale at the Los Angeles County Arboretum featuring 25 vendors (the best-judged show in the USA).  Next we’ll stop at Solano Succulents to buy plants, and then on to Solano Beach for several hours to enjoy the ocean.  On Sunday we’ll go to the Huntington Botanical Gardens.  Highlights include the desert plant collection, the mansion and library, the Japanese Tea Garden, and other landscaped areas.  We have free entry, a catered lunch, and access to their plant sale area, open just for us."
