So years ago when we first bought our Greenhouses, our two boys Ashton & Aiden were about 2 & 4 yrs old. They would crawl under the plant benches and pickup all the old dead looking scraps of succulents that had fallen to the floor from the previous owner. They eagerly planted them and low and behold, they grew into beautiful plants. The boys then shared their parents entrepreneurial spirit and set up a small table at The Garden Gates with a handmade sign…” Our Plants $10″ in crayons. Interesting enough, they got every last dollar.
I went outside this afternoon and took some pictures of a few succulents and found some of Aiden & Ashtons originals plants now about 10 years old.

Growing Tips
Succulents are long term plants where temperatures remain warm. Garden height is the final height the plant will reach after several years, not the height the plant will reach in one season. Succulents are generally slow growing plants and will take time to mature. |
