Re: Book Review and Giveaway: Succulent Container Gardens

Hi I'm kinda new at this but I was so excited about the book I had to give it a try. They used to call me the Plant Dr. when in my 20's I would try to save everyones dying plants at the Naval Dental Clinic I worked at. One time I even spent an entire paycheck on plants from a nursery that was closing. My apartment smelled like chlorophyll! Anyway since then I've gotten a BA in fine arts and I absolutely love the photos...very good. Now I'm helping a friend in desparate need of a focal point for the front of his house. He wants to sell it this summer. When I thought of containers in this book I realized he could take them with him when he moves! I had a few succulents in my apartment back then. I particularly remember a beautiful jade plant that got lots of comments. I kinda got away from live plants having moved alot in the past. But this book has re-inspired me to rejuvinate my green thumb as my next move will be my last.
