To Place an Order:
Yes, we are an anachronism and do not take online payment.
We know it may be a stretch in this age of one click shopping,
but to place an order you must do the following:
Email your order as an inquiry, including your shipping address, to – benkamm@monitor.net
I can then confirm stock, price and give the estimated ship time for your order.
(Due to the volume of email and nursery demands, it may take me a couple days to respond.)
Once confirmed, you can print and fill out an order form,
clearly listing botanical name & variety, any accession numbers, and size,
and mail with full payment (check, money order or cash; no credit cards) to:
Sacred Succulents, P.O. Box 781, Sebastopol, CA 95473 USA
Please note: We do not have a mobile device and
often only check our emails in the morning Monday to Friday,
so if you don’t get an immediate response from us—do not fret! We will get back to you.
We’ve had some ongoing issues with our Hushmail email.
If you haven’t received a response from us, please try again through our always reliable benkamm@monitor.net

We do not have a retail store set up for on site shopping,
but you can arrange to pick up an order from our physical locale in Occidental, CA.
Email us your order and we can arrange a time for you to pick up (usually at least 1–2 weeks ahead).
We are not currently doing any nursery visits or tours, we hope to resume in 2026.

Shipping & Handling for Plants (USA only)
First Class Priority Mail = $10.00 for the first plant, $2 each additional plant.
Express mail = Inquire for current costs
If you want your plants shipped potted add $2.00 extra per plant ordered—
cuttings and large plants cannot be sent potted; Trichocereus over 5-6″ are only sent bareroot.
*Plants marked with a single asterisk* are large, heavy & have special shipping charges =
$18.00 for the first plant, $2 each additional plant.
**Plants marked with double asterisk** are extra large and/or heavy. We charge you the USPS postage cost plus a $6 handling fee on the total order. Please note: Shipping costs for these will be significant for folks in eastern states (for example a 36″ Trichocereus sent to the East Coast would be around $45-70+ shipping but less than half that for the West Coast). You may inquire the approximate shipping cost by emailing us your zipcode.
***Plants are too large to ship – available for pick up, by appointment, at our home in Occidental.
Email to reserve plants and arrange pick up. For those further away, we will consider shipping, but the plants will need to be cut into smaller sizes—email for shipping quotes.

◊
Shipping and Handling for Seed Packets
First Class Mail USA: $5.00 (seeds ride free when ordered with plants)

Ordering Information
We do not ship plants outside the U.S., but seed orders are welcome. We ship year round. Plants are sent bare root unless requested otherwise. If you would like your plants shipped potted add $2.00 extra per plant ordered (large plants cannot be sent potted; Trichocereus over 5-6″ are only sent bareroot). We try to process and ship your order within a week of receiving it. If you do not receive your order within 4-6 weeks of sending it, please drop us a line—USPS is not infallible. Being a small nursery, most plants are available in limited quantities, so please list substitutes and your preference of credit or a refund in case a particular species has sold out. Let us know if you are looking for a particular plant not listed in the catalog. We have many species in quantities too small to list here. We also have wholesale quantities of much of the seed we offer, please inquire. We are always open to trade. Please inquire.
We offer ethnobotanical information in our listing to help further understanding of these plants, offer cultural context, rekindle human-plant relations, provide leads to promising plants for competent researchers, and for historical curiosity. We make no claims as to the accuracy of this information. It is compiled from many sources, some of which may be unfounded. This listing is not a guide to usage; edible, medicinal, or otherwise. We sell all plants and seeds strictly for growing purposes. Placing an order commits to an agreement to these terms.
We do our best to make use of as much recycled packaging material as possible. After you receive your order, we encourage you to do the same!
For seed orders outside the USA:
We take international money orders made out in USD$, or USD cash (or the equivalent in Euros or British Pounds) sent registered mail to our PO Box.
We also accept Western Union or a bank transfer (a $15+ fee for this one), or for a fee we can arrange online payment via an associate.
