Succulent Garden

 By now you probably know how much I LOVE succulents...and whats not to love???
They are easy to care for, can be planted in about any container, they look great planted alone or with others....They just might be the perfect plant!!


Heck... I've even seen them used in a corsage and boutonnieres.

Today, I thought you might enjoy seeing some colanders I planted up for benefit  auction last month.


 The first thing I did was line the colanders with a coco mat to keep the dirt in...Then I filled them up with potting mix.


Because it was for Fishline (an organization helps feed the hungry in our area) and I was using colanders I stuck with a food theme adding a vintage milk glass cup to one and a ladle to the other....


I always like to add something shiny and a few stones or pebbles too...


The third one I added a miniature bench...just to mix things up a bit.  :)

    I love your succulent post! I've gradually been collecting them the past couple years. I love tucking them into my pots ~ they make a great filler don't you think? xoxo, tracie

    I love succulents as well and have several dotted around our garden. I do like the idea of making a container garden with them as well so thanks for sharing your colander idea!

    If you ever feel like linking up to another party please pop on over and join us at my weekly Say G'day linky party. This post would be a wonderful addition!

    Best wishes,

    Denise, succulants are all the rage right now for weddings. I enjoy them too! I love planting in old galvanized things and the succulants can take the heat. Love your colanders! thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,
