Succulents are something that I have really only grown interested in over the last year or so. Before this I would see them in garden centres and just think ‘eh they look nice but they would never work in my garden.’
I am so glad that I have finally realised how wrong I was! They are such great plants that can fill a troublesome spot perfectly. I am currently working on a little project in my garden involving them that I will share in the coming days.
I became even more inspired to carry on with my project in the garden when I came across these brilliant succulents on a stand at the Hampton Court flower show. They looked just fantastic. It was a very simple display with just trays and trays of the plants lined up in rows but it look incredible when you were up beside it. These were just two of my favourite types on display.
My Name is David Corscadden and I have just finished my degree in horticulture from UCD. I have a keen interest in wildlife friendly gardens or as I like to call them “Wild Gardens”. I have in the last year taken a u-turn in what I thought I would do after college. I have moved more in to the literature side of horticulture and plan to do a masters in journalism next year.
