Hannah's Stunning Succulent Reef

Hannah Eubanks, 24, shows us a stunning succulent reef she created in a former koi pond, for a client in Vista, CA.
The youngest daughter of celebrity landscaper Laura Eubanks, Hannah expedited the project start-to-finish. "My mom was totally hand's-off," she says proudly. Naturally we're all wondering if the lovely, hard-working Hannah will launch out on her own, and if so, how Laura will manage without her. "I think about that a lot," Hannah admits...

So proud of my Girl!! Thanks, Debra, for sharing her work and spotlighting her talent❤️

[@nataliemoore7508]

This video made me cry, I am so proud of Hannah. Its lovely following (and having been lucky enough to be able to soak in) the very valuable practical knowledge that has been handed down between Debra to yourself and on to Hannah. You ladies are changing the world, you know.

[@QueenofSucculents]

@@nataliemoore7508 Thanks, Natalie. Laura and those who learn from her are changing the world one garden at a time in practical and aesthetic ways. Their clients get credit too!

[@bronwencampbell6943]

I’ve always been intrigued by how succulents resemble underwater plants. What a beautiful creation. How fun! Congratulations, Hannah!

[@QueenofSucculents]

I have more videos you'll like, then. See my "Sea-Themed Succulents": kzbin.info/aero/PLfBjDimnqpMo4ilSsXKJMeLRfBxyMJA78&si=bVgI6DqbTtTqJpfp

[@pooh2348]

I can see how she has followed in Laura’s footsteps but she has her own unique way of designing also. This first seascape is just magnificent!

[@gabivsgketologic]

Hannah is the most sweet beautiful and incredible! Debra thank you for showcasing her! She is definitely the future of succulents. I love the generosity of her mother for letting Hannah spread her wings!!!! Laura is our Queen along with you! ❤ So much love in the community ❤

[@QueenofSucculents]

That's so nice of you, Gabriella!

[@autumnsky9807]

Absolutely love the stone selection and sense of being IN and part of the garden.

[@Llittle822]

Hannah, what a fabulous job you've done. I agree with Debra's insight that your rock designs make it feel like the viewer has the vantage point of a little goldfish swimming in the reef! So well done.

[@robingrunzweig3940]

thank you for highlighting this!! i've watched her with her mom, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.. she will definitely find her own and be very successful!!! 😍😍 this installation was WOWZERS!!! ❤❤❤

[@susanlee630]

Brava! Love Hannah’s design and execution!

[@bobbiechinn9578]

She's adorable 😘 I've been following her mom for a couple of yrs and I saw her coming. She's very bright.

[@tdbarton7712]

Well done Hannah. Lovely and gracious of you DLB to mentor and promote other designers and helping us DIY-ers. My mother was a tremendous mentor to me as well. Our moms give us wings but it's up to us to use them to fly. You are soaring! Yay mom! Yay daughter! I agree with Laura; there is plenty of business to go around when the work is of such quality.

[@QueenofSucculents]

Thanks for a terrific comment!

[@marthahernandez191]

The path leading under the bridge feels like I'm swimming underwater. Hannah, this is so serene 🧜🌵💚

[@alexandralacerda492]

Awesome garden and such a lovely woman is Hannah ,so natural and creative👏👏👏👏👏

[@QueenofSucculents]

Thanks so much 😊

[@janecurtis5726]

I’m a followed of Laura Eubank’s KZbin channel so have been following Hannah’s progress on her first solo design project. She definitely has her own sense of design and had created a beautifully, magical coral reef design! Hate to say it but I think she out did her mother on this one!! Look forward to more of Hannah’s design work.

[@Lorenmcdee]

DLB!!! Oh man I missed seeing videos from you. I hope you do another garden tour of your OWN yard again soon. It was so gorgeous and I could watch it for hours

[@QueenofSucculents]

It's looking pretty sad due to the drought and heat. The best thing about my earlier video is that I managed to immortalize it...at its very best!

[@Lorenmcdee]

@@QueenofSucculents that makes sense 😊 I'll hope for a new one in the spring but I love your videos no matter what they are. You're so calming to watch

[@sarahthomson8183]

Aww, this is so sweet. Hanna, you have an excellent eye. 💞

[@1pink2blue]

Hannah did a phenomenal job on Susan’s coral 🪸 reef 🐠 installation. The way she placed the lava boulders, the intricate intentional way she created dramatic “cliffs” and “valleys” within the design really sets it apart with beautiful succulents and cacti. The variety of top dressing was on point and I love how Susan’s mementos were utilized throughout as finishing touches on the garden. Thank you for taking the time to video this magnificent installation 💗.

[@QueenofSucculents]

My pleasure, Wendy. Thanks for a great comment!

[@ceekaylongbeach]

Debra Lee so cool you gave Hannah coverage 👏

[@QueenofSucculents]

Thanks, Cheryl. Hannah's amazing.

[@ceciliatorres1882]

I started following you first, Deborah, then Laura of DFS. So nice you in one video. Thank you for a closer look of Hannah's Grand Reveal.❤️

[@QueenofSucculents]

You are so welcome!

[@kevv5044]

Go Hannah! She owned it. There is no copy paste in her work. I don’t see it.

[@QueenofSucculents]

What part of Hannah's undersea succulent scene do you like the most? Tell us!

[@oscaredmundfrancisco1052]

I would have to say the rock work is my favorite part. Great job Hannah!

[@GinaT8]

I love how Hannah uses small pockets in the rocks to showcase items and shade other succulents.

[@mimisher1857]

So impressed with how Hannah manipulated the soil and rock to give the feeling of subterranean canyons you often find in coral reefs.

[@loumanlapas5930]

Hanna is amazing!!! Got it from her Mama 🙂

[@pattyberg2954]

Fantastic work and wonderful to see Susan and Aimee too!

[@minimorse01]

Hi Patty ❣️ come for an ice tea when this hot week is over. You and I can watch my furry ‘sea slug’ meander amid Hannah and teams’ beautiful creation 🌵

[@MIchelle-cairn_mom]

Great job Hannah!

[@jdt_skincareaddict]

Hello Debra! 🤗😍I definitely loved the scene in the garden where they had a pathway installed and beside the bridge-like installment are the succulent reef design. Thank you so much for the upload 💝 God bless you 🙏🏻 always! ✨

[@jardinsonado58]

Wow! Beautiful installation! Way to go Hanna! I’ve learned a lot from your mom!

[@maggyyosin3361]

This is so wonderful! You go girl. I see you doing amazing things. Can't wait to see everything you do. I Love your mom. I wish i was as talented as the both of you.

[@QueenofSucculents]

Thank you, Deb, your POV is much appreciated!

[@dominiqueveron6530]

I don’t call it ‘hands-free’ when Laura was there to pick the rocks & plants. It’s quite similar combinations of 1 done previously with Laura. Hannah has talent & needs to develop HER style, not copy bits of Laura’s.

[@QueenofSucculents]

Yes of course Hannah needs to develop her own style, but even Michelangelo started out copying other great artists.

[@LauraEubanks]

@@QueenofSucculents Hannah selected everything for this project on her own😊
