The recently concluded Annual Show & Sale featured award-winning cacti and succulents in Dorrance Hall and over 20 vendors selling fantastic plants and pottery in Boppart Courtyard.

The exciting CACSS Show and Sale at Desert Botanical Garden from March 28 – 30, 2025 was a huge success! What a week of fun, hard work and enjoyment. Thank you to all our members for volunteering, attending and purchasing all sorts of plants, pots and beautiful items.

I would especially like to thank the nearly 200 volunteers who helped make the weekend so positive. Your work, support and smiles were infectious. Everyone pitched in and helped where it was needed. We have an extraordinary organization!

For those who were unable to attend Friday’s opening day, Cory McCloskey from Fox 10 Phoenix visited the Show and Sale for several live television segments which aired during the 4pm – 6pm broadcasts. While the clip from the Show had a software problem and was unable to record, here's the primary segment featuring several CACSS members and vendors, for you to enjoy:

The next annual Show and Sale will be held from March 27–29, 2026. We will be asking for volunteers once again to help make this event another huge success. Please mark this on your calendar–you won’t want to miss it!

Prepare for the Next Show:
