Garden designer Laura Eubanks (http://www.designforserenity.com) shows how to create a "mosaic-like" pocket garden of succulents, from start to finish. Laura's helpful tips include how she shops for succulents (she "counts heads"), and how she takes cuttings and plants them---resulting in a colorful, eye-catching and harmonious composition perfect for small gardens.
Although an in-ground garden like this is best for a mild, frost-free climate, many of Laura's ideas will apply to succulent container compositions that need to be overwintered indoors.
Producer and garden photojournalist Debra Lee Baldwin is the author of three books about using succulent plants in gardens and containers: Designing with Succulents, Succulent Container Gardens, and Succulents Simplified.
Filmed in a private garden in Rancho Bernardo, CA.
Size of the pocket garden shown in the video is approximately 9 square feet.
