Holiday Gift Guide 2015: Gardener

Since we moved into our house a little less than a year ago I have found great joy in working in the yard. I don't exactly have a green thumb, but I do like to tinker in the flower beds -- weeding, planting, pruning. Being in the yard is such a nice escape from my otherwise sedentary job.

I've rounded up some fun gifts for the gardener on your gift list.









Happy Gardening!

XOXO

Succulent Garden

I have always wanted a little succulent garden! There is something so unique about succulents plants and from what I have heard, they are relatively easy to keep alive.

When we moved into our new house I knew I had to plant a few succulents, asap!

While Hubby and I were cleaning up our backyard (lots of photos and updates on our backyard coming soon) I found an old bird bath left behind by the previous owner. I knew this would be the perfect home for my little garden!


I picked up my succulents at my local Lowe's. Most nurseries carry a variety of succulents and this Easy seller has a fabulous selection. 



I filled the bird bath with potting soil and planted my little garden. 



Voila! An easy, inexpensive way, to spruce up my backyard! And the biggest plus -- they are still alive after two weeks!

Below are a few of the Pinterest worthy photos I used for inspiration!




Has anyone tried to grow a succulent garden? I'd love to hear your tricks and tips!
