Succulent Gardens Extravaganza

The sixth annual Succulent Extravaganza is a FREE event to be held at Succulent Gardens in Castroville, California on Friday, September 23, 2016 from 8am-4pm and Saturday, September 27, 2016 from 8am-4pm.

This year the theme is “Succulents in Situ.” This year, speakers, demonstrators, and presenters explore the richest areas of the world for succulent habitats, including South Africa, South America, North America and Mexico, North Africa and the Canary Islands, Europe, and Eurasia. Understanding the origin of succulents allows us to better understand the succulents themselves, their ecological roles, ability to withstand drought, and physical characteristics. By examining how succulents thrive in their natural habitats succulent enthusiasts will better understand how to replicate these natural environments in their home gardens.

Attendees should come prepared to enjoy Succulent Extravaganza rain or shine. Visitors can get their morning caffeine fix at the onsite coffee truck. Nayrit’s Taco Truck will provide lunch for purchase. Both food trucks encourage cash.
