Our aim is to keep growers across the world in touch with each other. The Haworthia Society was established in 1986 by Alan Scott Akers. Since then it has expanded to include members in many countries. It is dedicated to the furtherance of knowledge and cultivation of the Aloaceae, specifically including Aloe, Aloidendron, Aristaloe, Astroloba, Bulbine, Gasteria, Gonialoe, Haworthia, Haworthiopsis, Kumara, Tulista, hybrids, nothogenera, and other related succulent Asphodelaceae. Membership of the Society is open to all interested individuals and institutions in all countries. Volunteers write articles for our journal, display their plants, host videos, organise historical reference documents, explore nature, distribute seed, and more.
