Last night, I went to a girls' night with 3 friends.
We talked about life as of late over dinner and wine in a backyard oasis.
There were fresh flowers on the table, warm sunshine, (and a few pesky mosquitoes).
Time with friends is so good for the soul. Laughing and sharing and encouraging.
Having seen succulent gardens popping up in more and more stores and blogs, we decided to to try our hand green thumbs at it also.
Pick any container you fancy.
I used one from a candle that I'd bought, burned down, and cleaned the wax out of.
Choose a variety of succulent plants and sizes.
Gently remove excess dirt from the original succulent pot, until you are left with mostly roots.
Situate plants in container to your liking.
Add dirt to fill in space between the succulents and pack them in snugly.
Note: Be gentle with the them. Pressure can cause pieces to break off.
(I learned this the hard way. Whoops.)
That's a wrap, folks. Easy peasy.
Bonus: Succulents barely need to be watered #mykindofplant and they can last for years.
It's the perfect low maintenance way to bring some green inside.
