       An indoor succulent garden                                  hat I love about indoor gardening is that you
                                                                   can change the design and variety of plants as
       is fun to put together and                       Wprovided you have a good supply of succulents
                                                                   many times as you like without too much effort,

       can survive without too much                     are planted outdoors again, and if they don’t, there’s normally
       attention and little water.                      plenty more to choose from, with a new look to match each
                                                        season of the year.
