Due to some lucky timing in August, we managed to catch the annual Toronto Cactus & Succulent Show and Sale, as well as the first annual Quebec Cactus & Succulent Show and Sale.
The Toronto event is run by the Toronto Cactus & Succulent Club and is held at the Toronto Botanical Garden, while the new Quebec show and sale – the ‘Salon Quebecois des Cactus et Succulentes’ – is run by the Serres Lavoie Garden Centre in Laval, near Montreal.
The Quebec show had more of a party atmosphere and was super busy – they like their succulents in Quebec!
Many impressive plants were on display and many hobbyist sellers had rare and unusual succulents for sale – most at reasonable prices.
Below are some photos from both events. First, Toronto:
