  • Use unconventional and openwork containers (like an antique birdcage) to add a new dimension to a composition
  • Plant succulents in antique urns and pedestals for a touch of the unexpected
  • Use traditional planters and baskets to create interesting design effects
  • Create attractive soil surfaces and use cuttings to create original arrangements
  • And much more!
Each arrangement includes a floor plan showing you how to mix the colours, shapes and textures in ways that are pleasing to the eye and healthy for the plants. A reference guide to over 120 succulent varieties explains the different plants' characteristics to help you create compatible groupings.
