What was your inspiration?

My neighbor gave me an old strawberry jar; after watching Creative Container Gardening, I thought it would be fun to try succulents in it.

What are you most proud of?

I particularly like the way the hens and chicks cascade.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I started planting by pulling the plants through from the inside, as Katie showed in the course. However, I think I ruined some (can't wait to see if they come back full force) and finally decided to push them through from the outside. It worked much better for me. If I had chosen smaller plants, Katie's method would have been fine.

Thank you! It's looking better with age and since succulents are slow growing, I'm not worried about it outgrowing its container.
