I had a wonderful time hanging out at Tallahassee Nursery yesterday. I’d signed up for a workshop on the planting and care of succulents, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I might’ve even learned a thing or two.
Here was the first container I selected, but it didn’t have a hole in the bottom to facilitate drainage, so I had to find a hole-y one.
The event was well attended with long tables holding all the requisite supplies set up under sprawling oak trees:
After selecting my plants I arranged them in my hole-y planter and looked around the delightful grounds of Tallahassee Nursery with friends. That’s Julie admiring a gazing ball.
We went for lunch afterwards and then I headed home to Doright Manor. Here is the end product of my workshop experience. It wasn’t the prettiest arrangement created, but it’s mine. Now all I have to do is keep the plants alive.
Peace, people!

Love all the pics except the one of me, of course, my how we’re so self conscious!! Anyway, don’t forget to give your succulent container a drink as that will help set roots too. Then only water when completely dry and even past dry when you say to yourself… “Hmm… I don’t think I’ve watered this for a month”!!!! Cheers!!

The little round bushy plants look like someone sprinkled bags of Smarties on them 🙂

South or S-W are the best. otherwise they will bend and stretch trying to get some sun – it is what is happening in my current apartment.

What lovely photos! Sounds like you had a great time. I always wanted to get succulents but I heard they needed a specific kind of soil and I was too lazy to do any research!

I’d hoped my cats would leave them alone. Two mornings in a row they’ve excavated a plant.
