What is there not to love? Succulents offer exquisite “mix and match” foliage colors, forms and textures, plus they are incredibly easy to care for.  In this presentation Katherine Tracey will acquaint you with some of her favorite selections, offer fresh ideas for their use in the garden as well as in container combinations, vertical gardens, wreaths and floral arranging. She’ll also discuss propagation, proper soil mixes, indoor care and tips on how to address humid outdoor growing conditions.
