You Can Judge This Beauty By Its Cover! Stylish Succulents: Summer Book Review

Stylish Succulents – Beautiful and Brainy 

It’s that time of year again: summer heat has taken its toll on neglected pots of annuals, your house-sitter forgot to water the hanging baskets, and the gorgeous Dahlias out by the pool were beheaded by deer. It’s mid-July, summer is just getting started! Now what? Well, let’s hope all of these things have not happened at your house this year, but if you are a life-long gardener, sooner or later you’ll have to replace at least a few annual displays during the growing season.

Seeking a bit of fresh inspiration for containers in a new deck garden design, I requested a review copy of Stylish Succulent : Japanese Inspired Container Gardens for Small Spaces, and I’m delighted with both the beautifully photographed designs and instructions! From hanging containers to tabletop displays and wall gardens, this book is filled with fantastic projects and ideas . . .

Have a bigger garden project in mind? Although this book is geared toward small spaces, many ideas are easily expandable to suit larger containers. Looking for something creative and green to do with older kids and teenagers? This is the perfect way to introduce a little artistry and horticulture into idle, summer vacation days.

Succulent pots and hanging baskets always make beautiful accents on hot, sunny decks, but my favorite how-tos in this book are the simple, succulent wreath and wall tableaux projects. I especially love the wild-looking Tillandsia wreaths and can’t wait to create one of my own. Pick up your own copy of Stylish Succulents, and get out there!

Complete instructions, with step-by-step illustrations, make this a true, project-lover’s book
