Hundreds of rare, unusual and expertly grown plants will be on display at this judged exhibit. There will be a large variety of plants on display at Sherway Gardens and experts will be on hand to share their cultivation secrets!

“Cacti and succulents are easy to grow once you get the hang of it,” states Les Betka, Ontario Cactus and Succulent Show Organizer. “They are great for gardeners of all levels as they need less work than most plants. As a general rule, they like sun, heat and a soil that allows good drainage. These easy to care for plants have tremendous recuperative powers if mistreated.”

Some of the hardier cacti and succulents that can survive our winter will be for sale at Sherway Gardens.
