This past Sunday, I spent the afternoon at the Los Angeles County Arboretum Garden Show. The theme of the show was "Living Green" creating a sustainable garden. There were several "green" gardens created by landscape designers just for the show and there were a ton of vendors selling everything from seeds to solar carport covers.
A lot of very creative people pitched in to make the show a success and a pleasurable way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
My friends Mary and Annette, AKA "the Garden Tarts", owners of Potted, a Los Angeles gardening store in Los Feliz, are two of those creative people.
Succulent gardens created by the Garden Tarts at Potted Los Feliz
They create these miniature garden landscaped using found objects, old toys and the like. I think they are fantastic and make great gifts.
I also saw these 2 other very clever succulent plantings at the show. Sorry, creators unknown.
Going to the garden show got me all fired up. I plan to spend as much time as I can in the garden this weekend. I think I'll create my own succulent garden!

My wife and I bought a few unusual succulents a few years ago, and we keep them as indoor plants. We really like their original look.
