Our Approach to Succulent Garden Design
Designing succulent gardens is more art than science. The right mix of colors, textures, shapes and bloom cycles must be selected to create a drought tolerant garden that is beautiful year-round and supports a variety of pollinators. Knowledge of sun tolerance and frost hardiness for each plant is also essential for succulent gardens to thrive and remain low maintenance in our ever-changing climate. Here’s a summary of my approach to new projects.
