Recent molecular phylogenetic analysis tells us that all living land plants can be traced back to a single common ancestor that parted ways with green algae about 500 million years ago. And while we could say the same about the human race—being one big family of distant cousins—let's save that for another chat. What we’ve realized, though, is that everything is connected. Evolution doesn’t rush; it’s a slow dance where species adapt through natural selection, and the only real requirement is time—a lot of it.

In the spirit of timelessness, we’re hosting a show-and-tell showcase curated by Dry Spell Garden, featuring some of Earth’s oldest plant species: Cacti and Succulents. We have gathered together a selection of rare and well-grown species from 9 local collectors which will be on display and able to purchase more common varieties, with complimentary staging using The Succulentist’s Surface Sand to help settle your new plants. Pre-potted options? Oh, we’ve got those too with our range of deadstock Marutomi pots as well as Swisspearl planters.

And on a grander scale, we’ve been chatting with the folks at Cactus Store (yes, those guys from LA and NY) about their Nonhuman Teachers initiative and other cool projects like documentaries and talks. We’re planning some programs in partnership with Cactus Store for 2025, but in the meantime, you can get your hands on their merchandise—T-shirts, Organizational Systems, and Canisters.

Join us for a relaxing weekend honoring some of Earth's most ancient green ancestors.
