Leicester Branch
of
the
British
Cactus and Succulent Society
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
welcome
you to our meetings.
