The Aloe, Cactus and Succulent Society of Zimbabwe was established on the 30th March 1969, when its Constitution was unanimously adopted at an inaugural meeting of interested persons.

The Aloe, Cactus and Succulent Society of Zimbabwe, is a non-profit organisation, concerned with the enjoyment, preservation, conservation and popularisation of aloes, cacti, succulents, cycads and palms. 

ACSSZ encourages the wider appreciation, education and knowledge of a variety of water-wise plants. 

Our Committee Members are passionate about Zimbabwe's indigenous plant heritage.

The Aloe, Cactus and Succulent Society of Zimbabwe incorporates the "Palm and Cycad Branch".

The Objectives of the Aloe, Cactus and Succulent Society of Zimbabwe are:

  1. to unite all who wish to foster a wider appreciation of aloes, cacti and succulents; 
  2. to promote the extension of member's collections of aloes, cacti and succulents on a disciplined basis and to serve their interests in this connection;
  3. to work for the preservation and conservation of the indigenous flora of Zimbabwe, particularly aloes and succulents, in their natural habitat, and to collaborate with the appropriate authorities in this regard;
  4. to strive for the establishment in botanical gardens, parks or other areas, of species of aloes and succulents threatened by extinction;
  5. to carry out and encourage research work on aloes, cacti and succulents and thereby expand knowledge in this field;
  6. to co-operate and liaise with appropriate Government Departments and bodies to further the aims of the Society;
  7. to affiliate to any Society having similar objectives.
