Meetings:

Evening meetings are usually held on the third Wednesday of each month at Wellsprings Chapel, Quantock Road, Taunton. They commence at 7:30pm and conclude at around 9:45pm and there is a break for refreshment and general discussion. There is a charge of £1.50 at each meeting to cover the cost of refreshments and the speaker’s costs. Check current year’s programme for details.

There are often plants for sale at the meetings - come early to get the best bargains!

There is a Table show most meetings - one Cactus class, one Other Succulent class and one cactus or other succulent plant in flower.

Events:

This Branch does not hold an annual show as such but it does mount a large display in the main floral marquee at the Taunton Flower Show each year; this is usually held during the first week of August. In recent years we have been fortunate enough to receive a Gold Award. There is an opportunity for members to sell surplus plants at this event.

Occasional visits to members collections and to nurseries are also arranged. Click here for recent visits.
