Our Motto:
Colere ... Quaerere ... Dispertire
To Grow ... To Study ... To Share
The Cactus and Succulent Society of New Zealand is the official NZ society dedicated to the sharing and trading of cactus and succulents, to swapping cultivation hints and studying the plants, and to growing the plants to the best of their ability.
There are approximately 700 members in a network of 11 branches
A bit of History from our start in 1948
