The mission of Flowers For The People is to encourage you to elevate your space with flowers (and sometimes furniture). \u00a0Because elevating your space…elevates YOU.<\/p>\n

So one simple\u00a0way to style up your space is with succulents. \u00a0Growing succulent<\/a> plants in a container garden is easy and wonderfully\u00a0satisfying. Succulent plants come in an amazing array of colors and leaf textures and combining them is fun and interesting.<\/p>\n

Because the roots of succulent plants are relatively shallow, a bowl or dish can look great. Plus, they look stunning planted alone or as companions.\"\"<\/p>\n

Last week, a few of my\u00a0ACC floral students and I went on a “field trip” to visit the Succulent Bar<\/a>, which is\u00a0housed inside of\u00a0Austin’s Revival<\/a>\u00a0store. Revival is a unique vintage playground styled to bring tons of inspiration by\u00a0mixing old with new….which pretty much makes it my dream store. \u00a0And to top it off, they offer succulent gardening classes taught by Master Gardener, Shari Bauer.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Oh yes…dream store!<\/p>\n

Shari is\u00a0a super delightful person and a wonderful\u00a0teacher. She\u00a0taught us how easy succulents are\u00a0to use, and how they are perfect companion plants for interesting and vintage containers.<\/p>\n

She showed us the endless options available for succulent growing. Birdcages, vintage dog bowls, purses, \u00a0tea cups, seashells…just about anything.<\/p>\n

\nFor my garden, I used this very interesting sterling container (which I purchased at Revivial). \u00a0Shari suggested I hang it and put candles in it to make a succulent chandelier. \u00a0I LOVED the idea, but I also knew this little piece would fit perfectly in my Reading Corner.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0So she helped me select some small little plants to fit into the candle holders.<\/p>\n

I also fitted my old terra cotta pig with succulents while there. \u00a0This pig came with my\u00a0crazy old house.<\/a>\u00a0 He has been sitting around here for years, so brought him with me to the Succulent Workshop. \u00a0Shari helped me select a nice mix of plants\u00a0that would grow both up, out and over. \u00a0He has a whole new look now.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2611\"After attending the Succulent Workshop, I felt compelled to redo my front porch succulent garden. \u00a0 It was beginning to poop out, so I dumped it out, trimmed up the succulents that could be replanted and planted a few new ones. \u00a0Looks clean and fresh. A bit modern and vintage…my favorite combination.<\/p>\n

Are you feeling inspired yet? \u00a0I hope so, but just in case you need a little more info\/inspiration, here is a great video<\/a>\u00a0on how to plant a succulent garden. \u00a0Have fun!<\/p>\n
