Hurricane Update
In light of the damage and debris from Hurricane Milton at the Succulent garden, we will be closed to the public on Mondays and third Saturdays until further notice. The annual February sale is still on the calendar, barring unforeseen circumstances. Our structures all survived, but cleanup will take some time. Our volunteers will be there working on Mondays, doing small cleanup projects. We have obtained the help of tree removal personnel for the larger tasks. As many of our beautiful large old trees have given us some large gifts! To this end we have renewed our Go Fund Me page looking to the support of friends and others for additional funds to augment our only income, plant sales. Please help us repair Milton’s damage with a tax-deductible gift to the Sarasota Succulent Society.

Work Day Sales
Gardening Work Days
We encourage you to visit to our Gardens on one of our gardening workdays, held from 9:00 am to noon every Monday and on the 3rd Saturday of every month (except December) also from 9:00 am to noon.
Come Stroll the Gardens!
Experience our wonderful Old Florida ambiance and meet our dedicated volunteer workers. Receive their help choosing from the many varieties of beautiful succulent plants we’ll have for sale.
Please note that these sessions are subject to cancellation, without public notice, due to weather conditions or the absence of available volunteers. Both situations are quite rare, but certainly worth planning for if you will be traveling from afar.
Scholarships
Our Scholarship Program is designed to help students interested in botany and related fields. Support for the program comes from you — our wonderful members, friends, and guests — by way of your generous (tax-deductible) donations and/or your Lifetime Membership dues.
A Great Idea
We are looking for Active members to come out and physically work in the gardens. Do you live in a Condo or Apartment and miss hands-on contact with the soil? Join Us!!
