Gorgeous DIY Succulent Pumpkin Planters
I honestly love pumpkin season, the smells and the flavors. This cute pumpkin succulent arrangement immediately turns your house into fall season. It also makes a great gift. As soon as the pumpkin starts to rot, simply plant it in your garden. If you need to pot it, just gently pull of the succulents and plant them in your favorite pot. I like to have a selection of different succulents. Definitely look for the little baby flower like succulents but also look for longer ‘flatter’ plants. Spread them out and sort them so you can clearly see what you have. I use moss…

The Perfect Gift for Father’s Day!
Last week my daughter’s teacher gave this adorable succulent gift to the volunteer’s that helped out this year. She had all the children sign the glass vase with their names. I thought this would make the perfect Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Grandparent’s Day and yes, Teacher Appreciation Day gift! For Father’s Day – you can have your kids write Happy Father’s Day and then have them sign it. Or whatever strikes your fancy! A favorite quote perhaps? This gift really touched my heart and I know that I will treasure it always! Right now it is sitting next to my computer. She said she used succulent’s from her mother’s garden and made about 20 of them. Personalized gifts…

Which brings me to something I want to share with you lovely dandelion moms and dads – you can grow a baby succulent – without any soil! I found this out…

9 Design Ideas for a Magical Garden
My mom is moving into a retirement community soon and we have been on quest to make her indoor atrium and outdoor patio something that she could really enjoy. Both sections only have tile with absolutely no place to actually plant so this is definitely going to be a potted garden. One of the main things we are looking for in design is a place she can kick back, read a book and enjoy her two cats. Plus have little surprises here and there for her three grandchildren to enjoy. We found some wonderful ideas via Pinterest (love that site) and I wanted to share these ideas with you…

Succulents are one of my absolute favorite types of plants because they take minimal care and I love how they will surprise you with their infrequent blooms. There are so many interesting ways to use them as accents in your garden or indoors as a table accent. And they are perfect to give as gifts. It is a pretty inexpensive yet unique present to give to the plant lover, friend or your child’s schoolteacher. We found some unique DIY ideas you can do with the kids! Some are large projects and would be more costly as you need several plants and others would take just one succulent. The skies the limit with…
