Hello, thank you for visiting this site.

Are you fascinated by cacti and succulents ?

Have you ever wondered how you can flower

your favourites, when to water them, what kind

of compost to use, where to acquire more at

sensible prices or even free ?

If the answer to any or all of these questions is yes,

have you ever thought of joining the

British Cactus and Succulent Society ?

If you live in Leicestershire, we at the

Leicester Branch would be delighted to
