Check in on a Six Month Install in Fountain Valley!

Just wow!!
Clients Ann and Dan have done a stellar job of maintaining this installation that we installed last November.
It held up through the winter with only minor damage to some of the aloes and a few random small things rotted.
Be sure to watch to the end to see a before photo!

Laura, I am in China, I love watching your videos. Most Chinese people don’t own their own garden, a semi open air balcony is a luxury. And that’s how most of chinese succulent lovers in China keep their plants, in small pots in the balcony. Your creativity,various plants and big space to design the tapestry always amaze me. That’s something I cannot imagine that would happen to me.

[@elizabethacheson4298]

I absolutely LOVE this garden, one of my favourites! Ann & Dan are doing an amazing job of maintaining what team DFS so lovingly created! ♥🧡💚💛💜💙❤

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Ann is a diligent succulents Momma. Beautiful garden.

[@anndrew733]

I just love looking at the plants and rocks. Find something new and interesting every day!

[@desereesantillanes-torrez6823]

@@anndrew733 you and Dan are doing amazing in keeping up your wonderfully gorgeous garden. Love Dan's idea about adding native succulents to you all's garden.

[@imaginecastles]

The succulent garden is much more lush and interesting to look at than all the surrounding green lawn at the neighboring houses.

[@Fabdanc]

It's really her signature style of staging plants that makes the gardens look so lush. She really has an eye for what areas should be blown out and what areas to restrain and go with specimens spaced further apart.

[@eleanorluckhurst9192]

Ann and her husband are a testament to your great work, Laura. Their care and attention to their garden Is so evident. Congratulations to California gardeners who are recognizing the need for a change in their environment and lifestyle due to water shortage and restrictions. Succulents are absolutely the today and the future and they make the most beautiful garden. The State of California should have Hannah in some public service commercials (well paid, of course) to educate gardeners to a brighter future...in my very humble opinion. Enjoy some vaca time after your next installation.

[@norasandoval8499]

The garden has given me inspiration to tear out my front yard & start my dream succulent / cactus yard. Thank you for sharing

[@Fabdanc]

I'm always so jealous of the variety of plants you have access to... I guess the only thing stopping me from spending all my money on a mangave collection is my lack of access to them 🤣

[@edruoff1691]

The choice and placement of the boulders is the perfect hardscape for this garden! You aced the top dressings, too!

[@janeschmidt9611]

Wow, Ann and Dan have done a marvelous job in keeping their garden healthy! How helpful would it be to have Laura in your garden helping with any issues that come up? She can even move plants for you! I cut off the aeonium babies and plant them in the ground. I love them! 🥰

[@pollytiks3885]

Thank you Ann, Dan and Laura for giving us a tour of this gorgeous garden!! It beats that boring, water-gobbling grass hands down!! The attentive care you give to your plants is evident - I can imagine the plants are as happy to see you as you are to them! 💚💚💚

[@swatigokhale9495]

Looks so beautiful. The harmsii and the kalanchoe luciae are unbelievable. The colour!! With water problems all over the earth this makes so much sense.

[@maria-josebaur1477]

What a difference between the before and after. Stunning!!!

[@rhiannonkingston9659]

Yes native plants! So many beautiful species to mix in with the succulents to add texture and habitat for all the creatures.

[@jomarielopez2229]

Just found my rocks that I want to use in my yard. I have a desert museum too in my backyard. Also, all the succulents are awesome! Going to look for some some new additions to add to my yard. I will just show them from this video. So beautiful. Lovely to share this wonderful garden with us. I feel so lucky to see plants that have grown!!!!

I love seeing all these gardens you have done. I heard you mention that you were stopping in Manteca, both my sons live there. If I had known this earlier I would’ve had one of them go find you and get an autograph from you for me. You are my favorite KZbin person to watch. Please keep doing what you do cause I love watching the videos

[@LauraEubanks]

Email me at [e-mail] Maria! I’d be happy to share our location with you. Send your son over and I’ll give him that autograph!

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

The cool thing about this is. You don't have to choose one or the other. You can have your cake and eat it too enjoying the best of both worlds. These succulent gardens especially these ones Laura does are amazing for front yards with looking great while being low maintenance and low on water. So you can have a really nice looking presentable front yard that you don't have to really work on much at all. Or even the reverse, since succulents are great in smaller areas. Some locations backyards are much smaller than front yards so you may want it in your backyard instead. They make great low maintenance container gardens for those areas. You can make it look really cool with different sized fancy pots with tall narrow succulents in those small backyards. Those small backyards in desert areas many people just end up not even using them since they can be so ugly it's hard to know what to do. Like a 70% UV mesh and cool succulent pots and a nice tabled sitting area for those small backyards to make it usable and just have a fan and you are set. I've seen it done in Vegas and it's really practical and makes it a usable enjoyable area instead of "death valley" lol.

Lisa Frank nail stickers, from Orly. My students love them!

[@jstamps9578]

Great discussion Laura and Ann on what plants may need help or replacement depending on microclimate and pests, and the how easy it is to pull up and plant with just one hand. Your garden looks so cool and has incredible street appeal Ann.

[@erikm8372]

The sedum apple snaps looks great with mint truffles. Also your recent update of the coral reef in UTC area reminded me.. when I’m at a loss for designs, the best combos are sometimes things that look similar. Those guys have all their snake plants together, and I never knew how great that could look. Sansevieria Moonlight (or moonshine), Trifasciata and cylindrica look so good together. Throw some laurentii and starfish in too lol

[@pratimajain9689]

Very beautiful succulent garden

[@Brandin-James]

You're correct if you cut the aloes too short the leaves just fall apart and unfold till nothing is left. Which reminds me to still show you my aloes

[@2wheelman]

wow awesome improvement . well peek a boo time. maybe we all can see the ranch on your long weekend. have a great chill out time up there.

[@anxiousgarden]

one of my favorite installs! looks great

[@CaraLudick]

Crazy how quickly plants grow. I feel like I'm lucky if I get 1 extra sunburst per year.

[@tvs9978]

G-g-g-gorgeous!! 😍

[@carolinetiller4813]

the hardscape and the perfect combination of plants look amazing. Great maintenance job. I def need to redo my front entrance and backyard.. Lots of cleanup but oh so worth it. I am loving all the budding flowers from these succulents. Just beautiful and the orange little rocks under the tree as camouflage was a great idea!

[@bethreisman8869]

I am lovin’ you revisiting your installations. Terrific!

So beautiful 😍 I enjoy that garden thanks Laura

[@chellecat247]

Looks beautiful. Wish I was able to stay on top of my garden like that. I'm jelly! That poor aloe bainesii is such a bummer. Being surrounded by so much succulent perfection, it looks extra sickly in comparison.

Is that even the same house? Cannot believe the beauty. Thinking about moving to San Diego just so I can keep my succulents looking like that.

[@anndrew733]

Thank You. We added-0n and built out over the courtyard in 2006.

[@sallybruska1499]

The yard does look much better as a succulent garden than with the grass. I'm sure the grass took a lot of water, fertilizer, and time.

Add more water consistently until it leafs out😊

Laura do Ocotillo grow in that area? There were Ocotillo in phx. When I lived there and they are so cool when they bloom I'm surprised you don't use them if you can ... they are so tall😆😆

Wow! That's soooo awesome!!! Can you tell me what it costs to commission a yard like that? I'm in Sacramento and have a big disorganized succulent collection. We get frost over the winter so most of my plants are covered. I would love to remove my front lawn for a xeriscape yard.

Yes. Subterranean drip
