Description

The Cyprus Cactus and Succulent Society is organising its 9th Annual Exhibition of Cacti and other Succulents.

Once again the Cyprus public will have the opportunity to admire rare cacti and other succulents, as well as plants suitable for growing in the Cyprus garden.

3rd Photographic Exhibition & Competition

Following the success previous years’ photographic exhibitions our members will again “open” their gardens to the public with their best photographs. The photo exhibition will give the visitor the opportunity to admire plants that are not in flower during the time of the show, as well as parts of gardens and balconies one would not have had the opportunity to visit. Other than enjoying the photo exhibition and getting ideas that could be implemented in one’s garden, the visitor can also vote for the best photograph.

Sales of Plants and Books

Nurseries from all over Cyprus will be represented again this year and rare plants will be imported from abroad, specifically for the Exhibition. Furthermore, there will be plant cuttings and a great variety of relevant books.

Plant Competition

Concurrently with the Exhibition, the CCSS Annual Plant Competition will take place. All plants taking part in the Competition (about 500) will be showcased at the Exhibition Hall. The judge this year will be Dr John Altiparmakis ex president and member of the Greek Cactus and Succulent Society, a botanist and experienced collector.

FREE 8-page leaflet ‘The Smart Garden’

The leaflet ‘The Smart Garden’ will be distributed to the public FREE of charge. The leaflet was published by the Society with the support of the Cyprus Environment Commissioner. It contains information on how succulent plants, can be used in the Cyprus garden.

Entrance to Sales Area Free, Entrance to Exhibition Hall €1.
