2025 Update
To our friends, supporters and members 2024 was a great year for the garden! Thanks to your generous donations, we accomplished several much needed updates to our cottage, display house, propagation shed and grounds. In addition, we awarded two $1000.00 scholarships.
Milton challenged us all in October, but thanks to our hardworking volunteers (and our ‘tree guy’ Jack) we reopened our gates to the public on January 6 at 9 am! We successfully presented our first ‘3rd saturday’ program on January 18th and our President’s Day sale is scheduled for business as usual.
We look forward to seeing you in 2025 to help us celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Sarasota Succulent Society garden!!

Work Day Sales
Gardening Work Days
We encourage you to visit 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!!
