A couple months ago I posted about our Awesome Backyard Makeover and you may have spotted this beautiful Three Tiered Succulent Garden in some of the photos. I wanted to bring a little green onto our patio and I love succulents….mostly because I find it hard to kill them. So since two months seemed like enough time I figured I would finally share my tutorial for how I made this little gem!

Supplies needed……

-Cactus Potting Mix

-Small Rocks

-Succulents

-Container of your choice

This silver tiered stand has been with me for years. I found it while thrifting and shared it in a thrifty post. For the most part it’s been sitting in my garage collecting dust only to be brought out on a few occasions. I was at the point where I either wanted to get rid of it or put it to real use.

I grabbed some extra rocks and poured them in the bottom of each tier. The rocks help drain any excess water away from the succulents because they don’t like to be over watered.

Then I placed all of my succulents in the containers around the stand to plan where I wanted them to go. Once I had the placement figured out I popped each succulent out and poured in the potting mix. I had to work with the dirt to make sure that all the plants were covered. Then I sprinkled some more rocks on top of the dirt.

It only took a few items and a few minutes to create a super cute succulent centerpiece. Tarnished silver + tiered stand + succulents = a happy me.

I absolutely love sticking succulents in odd or unusual objects. I mean succulents in a flower pot isn’t bad…but succulents in an old three tiered silver stand. Perfection.

Do you have any succulents around your home or garden???

I know a lot of you may still be surrounded by snow and cold but Spring is just around the corner.  Even if it’s a little further off for some of us, it’s still a great time to start bringing Spring into our space. For me, Spring seems to bring a renewed sense of fresh starts and new beginnings. It’s usually time for Spring cleaning, organizing, and new growth.

For Spring I like to decorate with those things in mind. I keep things muted usually in colors that remind me of a Robin’s nest. Of course I incorporate a good amount of moss too. I love moss and Spring is a great excuse to bring it out in full force! I have decided to round up some of my favorite and most popular Spring DIY projects to share with all of you.
