ParamountSilks.com: Succulent Gardens

Below are examples of Succulent gardens that we have built in the past. Please refer to these for ideas and let us know what you like in your succulent gardens. The ideas are endless. We can design and build them in almost any pot. We also have new succulents and ideas for these gardens all the time.

Here's an example of a small Yucca with various small succulents in a wooden boat. Accenting them is pieces of real Cholla wood and a real saguaro boot as well as little yellow flowers that grow everywhere in the deserts north of Phoenix.

I personally love the desert in the spring and early summer north of Phoenix, the hills are covered with yellow and purple flowers that make amazing carpets of color.

Natural elements we use from the desert in our designs are cholla wood and roots, desert tree branches, red or sandblasted Manzanita branches, seeds from desert plants and trees, saguaro skeletons, ribs, roots and what I think is the coolest thing of all is using the boots the saguaro makes when birds peck into their skin. It's hard to explain what a saguaro boot is so I will provide you with a link to an article that explains them and other derivations the venerable saguaro makes.

We also use different sizes and colors of real crushed Granite, different types of rocks, mosses, lichens, leaves etc. to cover the what would be the ground area of the succulent gardens.
