Lisa’s Water Lily Succulent Bowl

My dearest friend Lisa loves to garden. She also has a knack for turning everyday junk into unique containers, like this one:

But I have to say, her latest project is my absolute favorite. With her personal collection of succulents plus a few scoops of soil, a couple bags of glass gems and a miniature bird bath, she assembled this!

With a small amount of soil in the bottom of the bowl – as succulents generally don’t need much – and a few starter gems placed on top, Lisa gently nestled the first succulent in the center and then added several smaller ones of varying sizes and colors. Add some more glass gems to cover up the soil. I love how she used aquatic greens and blues to create a lilies-on-a-pond effect.

The cost of this project was less than $30.
