Enjoy a presentation by Ben Murphy about the very widespread and diverse group – cacti and succulents. He will discuss what makes them unique; suggestions on care; pests, disease and propagation; and an overview of commonly encountered cacti and succulents, including varieties native to our region! Ben is an Extension Master Gardener with the Master Gardeners of Northern Virginia and an avid collector of house plants including cacti and succulents, with over 200 in his home collection.  

His favorite Succulent is Euphorbia Trigona, pictured here. 

Twilight Talks are free and open to the public! Ben will be presenting over Zoom, but we will be viewing his talk at the VCE Extension Office so that we can meet and socialize, too!
