Succulent Dish Gardens

A few weeks ago I made a little succulent dish garden for my mom to take to work, and lots of people liked it. Liked it so much, in fact, that she ended up selling it to a coworker who kept begging her for it! How enterprising of her! She came back down to visit and I made her another. It's bigger and prettier than the last one.



She says that both hers and her coworker's are really taking off, that they seem to be thriving under the fluorescent lights.



I love using succulents for little dish gardens. There are so many colors and varieties that they look good in practically any kind of dish. they're also exceptionally forgiving, and don't need a lot of water. I have such fun making them for other people that I never remember to make one for my own desk at work!
