Central Kansas Cactus & Succulent Study Group

We generally meet the last Sunday of the month, sometimes at members' homes, sometimes at Botanica, 701 Amidon in Wichita.
Anyone with an interest in xerophytic plants is welcome to attend our meetings. Those at members' houses generally include a pot-luck dinner and exchanges of plants and cuttings.
