The British Cactus & Succulent Society (BCSS) is the primary organisation for anyone interested in learning more about cacti & succulents. The principal objectives of the BCSS are to promote the study, conservation, propagation and cultivation of cacti and other succulent plants. Membership of the Society is international and open to all. We currently have about 3,000 members and this includes a whole range of interests from novice window-sill growers to experts. The Society has more than 80 branches in the UK, each of which organises an active programme of local events every year. At the national level, we hold an International Convention every 4 years, and a National Show in the intervening periods.
