      BRINGING SUCCULENTS INTO THE GARDEN


Succulents, succulents everywhere and not a drop to drink! Succulents are setting the trend in many gardens these days and for good reason.
As Patrick says, “With their ease of culture and fabulous variety of form, any gardener can create something wonderful with these exciting plants.”
With California’s continued drought, succulents are showing up more often in our gardens. Tucked here and there, they fit right in.

 

 

 

Patrick’s own succulent garden has been featured in numerous magazines such as Horticulture, Sunset and Fine Gardening, and in the the books Desert Gardens by Gary Lyons and Melba Levick; Designing with Succulents by Debra Lee Baldwin; and New Garden Design by Zahid Sardar and Marion Brenner.


  As a founding member of the San Diego Horticultural Society and frequent volunteer at Quail Botanical Garden and the Huntington Botanical Garden, Patrick has had access to many succulents and succulent gardens to feed his enthusiasm for these beautiful and varied plants.
