/ / / photo's & DIY by the fashion gal / / /

hello monday. wow, what a weekend! any Motha's out there?? how was your big day!? well the fireman, the frenchie {Charlie}, and i were on the go all weekend long. from parties to Mother's Day we squeezed in everything that was on our fun fulfilled to-do list... like make this killer ((mini)) succulent garden! it was definitely a team-effort because this was a gift for the fireman's {amazing} mom... so of course he had to help... right!?! right! here is our little rendition of a succulent garden... and the step-by-step!

**this {mini} garden would make a perfect House-Warming gift too!

 let's get started. . .

pour your ah-mazing cactus soil in. ((this stuff is crucial... you can get it at Home Depot, OSH, ect.)) 

cut your plastic pot down the side and remove your first succulent.

  loosely separate the plants roots & soil... then dig a small hole and plant your first (& largest) succulent!

 gently pat down your soil surrounding your first plant. now let's make a plan... then repeat!

 ok, here's the plan... lay out all your succulents and arrange them the way you think your mini garden will look best. we squeezed in 1 slightly larger succulent, 2 small/mediums, and 3 little mini's!

now REPEAT. ((continue planting one succulent at a time... and remember to enjoy the process!))

 {this is where i jumped in!} with your paint brush, lightly brush off the extra solid from your succulent leaves & pot.

and voila!

how was your weekend!?
