Cactus and Succulent Oasis Saturday, February 7, 2026 from 9:00am - 11:30am
SCHS is delighted to invite you to a very special Coffee-in-the-Garden event on Saturday, February 7, hosted in the stunning, award-winning Chatsworth garden of Diane Arnold.
Diane’s home garden is a true desert oasis, showcasing an extraordinary collection of mature cactus and succulent specimens. Her landscape has earned three CLCA awards and is a testament to creativity, passion, and dedication.
Join us for a relaxed morning of coffee, conversation, and inspiration as you stroll through a garden filled with aloes, agaves, mangaves, columnar cacti, yuccas, and more — all artfully arranged with boulders, crystals, and dramatic lighting that transforms the space into a magical retreat.
