Friday Find: Succulent Wreath and DIY Vertical Garden

I have a thing for succulents. Not only are they are not only a low-water easy-care gardening option, they come in a wide range of sizes, colors and textures.



Mixing varieties of succulents can create incredibly beautiful arrangements. Here are some spectacular succulents bowls by Flora Grubb Gardens of San Francisco for a recent event at the SF Ballet.


I also love the square succulent arrangement above from Succulence a life & garden store also in San Francisco.  

This hanging succulent wreath {also from Succulence} really caught my eye. I think it would be fabulous on a front door or garden gate.
Here is an incredible vertical succulent garden that only needs to be sprayed with a little water now and then. It was installed using a Vertical Garden, DIY Panel available at Flora Grubb Gardens. Hmmm... might have to drop by and pick up one of these panels for myself.

Are you thinking of planting some succulents this summer? Here are a few simple step-by-step tips on how to plant succulents in containers.

Happy Friday, Happy Gardening!
