The Society holds monthly meetings and field trips, where members have the opportunity to view expert growers' collections and seek their professional advice.

The CSSA's Succulents & Cacti Show is an annual Spring event, consisting of a large display area with decorative and rare plants. This is complemented by unrivalled plant competitions as well as sales of specialized books and plants.
