The Natives Are Restless
Native plants have grown in the local environment for thousands of years and are quite happy living in this area. Because they are native, they are more adapted to local weather and will generally flourish where non-natives may not. Native plants, once they are established, usually require less care and maintenance. Native plants also improve the quality of life for birds, bees, butterflies and other wildlife. Native ferns planted in the garden offer a personal connection with the plants growing in the fields and woods of this region. Invite the natives into your back yard. They may be restless, but they settle in and shouldn’t be feared.

Here there is a place to work, a place to sit, and a way to connect with nature.

We’re Ready for Our Close-Up

The Philadelphia Cactus and Succulent Society was founded in 1942. Its purpose is to exchange knowledge of and experience with succulents among its members.

There are more than 100 members at all levels of expertise -- beginners and experts, collector and growers.
