September starts succulent Saturdays

As you must know by now, we love succulents! They are so beautiful and easy to care for! They are also like the vintage shopping of plants- so many varieties that people collect them! One reason we love them so much is our grower, Sara. These plants are her passion. Each succulent we sell has been hand started and cared for by her. We tell customers to send us photos if they are having trouble with a plant they've purchased because Sara is always happy to help us figure out what might help get the succulent back on track. They can live a long time, and we want them to live long happy lives keeping our customers company.
