Succulent plants come in a plethora of sizes, shapes, and colors. They are fun to grow, and most of all, easy to share with friends!

Did you know? All cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti?

This class will focus on the non-spiny succulent plants that can be grown in our area, especially those that use less water - and there are a lot to choose from! During class you'll learn the names of common succulent plants, their sun and water requirements, and how to care for them. Classes last approximately 90 minutes.
