I have always wanted a clay pot full of succulents to adorn my kitchen table. This spring I decided it was time to make one! It was really easy and I can’t wait to display it in our new home this coming August. There is no right or wrong way to create a garden of succulents. I found some lovely small cactus plants that I incorporated in to mine, these particular cacti have some color, which I love. All you need is a pot of some sort, a bag of potting soil and enough succulents to fill it! I also took rocks and small pebbles from the yard to fill in around the succulents once they were planted…this provided a little more texture and security to plants as their roots take hold. Enjoy!
I have to give a shout out to Baublebar and Anthropologie for these lovely earrings I am wearing!
Have you tried potting succulents before? What sort of spring gardening are you doing?

Beautiful! I’m so going to do this! I had a couple of succulents in water in crystal rose bowls and killed them. 🙁 I love the color in yours! Also…the new blog looks FABulous friend! Congrats!
Thanks Natalie! I appreciate you stopping by and saying hello, and your kind comments. I haven’t tried succulents in a water crystal rose bowl, sounds pretty though 🙂 (for the time they lasted) hehe. I am not an expert at keeping plants alive. *crossing my fingers on this one*
I just planted lavender, cucumbers, spinach, lettuce, peppers, broccoli and sunflowers over the weekend. Can’t wait to see what actually grows. I’m not a green thumb…you might have to teach me how it’s done. Your pot looks great!
oh fun! is this a raised garden or one in your backyard? Thank you 🙂 xo <3
I planted my garden in windowsill troughs and pots. I can’t wait to see how they turn out!
I haven’t done any gardening lately I was really into that when I first bought my home but I lost the bug. Your pot looks really nice Sam.
Thanks Wanda! 🙂 When Dusty and I move in to our new place this August, I am hoping they will let me do some gardening or flower planting! It definitely is something that comes and goes based on interest…and time! haha 🙂 thanks for stopping by.
