Great container idea for succulents!
Hello you two, thanks for stopping by my blog last week. I can totally relate on the gardening front...
it's funny...i was a gardener at a botanic garden before becomming a sahm....but i am TERRIBLE with house plants...maybe with a real outside garden your green thumbs would shine!
have a great day.
