Each club should select one cacti and one succulent to compete on behlaf of their club. These plants will be evaluated by a panel of judges and best in show will be awarded to one plant from each category. You can find the evaluation criteria here.

Plant sales
Due to limitations at our hosting venue, we are not able to offer on-site plant sales this year. We are hosting an off-site sale at Cactus Queen DFWs retail location (address forthcoming) on Sunday, October 18 from 10-5. You will also be able to shop for items during some of our greenhouse tours. Please click here to find out more information about the Sunday plant sale.
Event donations
TACSS does not charge to attend our annual Fall Seminar and would appreciate any donations that you are able to make to help offset the cost of the event. The North Texas club and its members are providing over $1,500 in donations and materials for the event, including a set of seed grown plants from CommonPoints nursery. These plants will be on offer as gifts for those who choose to make a cash donation at the event. Please bring any donation amount you can to our donation table at the seminar.
