Succulent’s Akimbo

Darrell was very taken by the artistic use of the very en trend and de rigueur succulent outside the Hilton London Bankside during his stay in London.

We don’t have a garden at The Towers, and it’s something like this that does, occasionally, give Darrell and I the odd horticultural hankering.

It would be quite a statement to have outside one’s house, certainly one step up from a slate, ceramic or brass house sign …….

…….. but, just imagine how many said succulents it would  take to spell out the Castle Greysquirrel of our past  or our present Riverside Towers …… I think planting all that lot would soon put paid to any such hankerings, not to mention seriously damaging our finances!

Succulents are easy to grow, but that sort of design could take considerable looking after.... gardens and landscaping are beautiful but aren't a "one shot" effort; it is the ongoing maintenance that can kill the deal!.....Love, Dianne

It looks great. One could change the colours at different times of the year too.
