Create a succulent bowl

Fancy an inspiring piece of horticultural art in your garden that requires minimal upkeep? - by Better Homes and Gardens

Succulents are the answer! It’s so easy to create a bowl of succulent beauty such as this, put together by Melbourne garden designer Jhodie Goy. Succulents offer architectural style and come in an amazing array of textures, shapes and tones. Among the best are the rosette foliaged echeverias, named after 18th century Mexican botanical artist Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy. For the frugal garden artist, try using a collection of cuttings. Use them as an artist would their paint colours, remembering as your succulents grow they dramatically increase in size.
