How to Create a Succulent Pocket Garden, with Laura Eubanks

[@lynnadames9526]

I have watched this video SO many times in the past few days because I have a small space that I am wanting to work on,. As a new succulent enthusiast this video is EVERYTHING I need to know. You are amazing Laura!

[@carolannhartley359]

I love the way the rosemary fits in with the succulents, but i have had such difficulty growing that herb.

[@QueenofSucculents]

You don’t mention your location. It’s super easy to grow here in Southern CA.

[@violetxoxox]

All my life, I thought I hated succulents because they were too barren and blah. Turns out I never saw any that were grouped in an actual creative DESIGN. This is so beautiful. Such an inspiration! I'm definitely going to add a rock garden to my yard now.

[@etormer]

this lady is a genius. I love how she just goes in and starts cutting things apart.

[@matthewkaczer1459]

Debra Lee Baldwin and Laura Eubanks!! two of the best in CA!

[@QueenofSucculents]

Thank you!

[@willajohnson8577]

Thank you so much for putting plant names on screen.

[@rosieg4813]

simply beautiful I think i will make one under my tree

[@user-te7zz8mv3x]

i bought some hens and chicks last summer. they are the only plants in my garden that survived the snow and frost, as well as this year’s heatwave in the uk! so easy … just design and neglect 🤣

[@QueenofSucculents]

Yes! If it's any consolation, those don't thrive here in Southern CA. They seldom make it through our hot summers.

[@pandalover3556]

We had just bought a corner lot house and the garden needs a lot of work. We just finished clearing bushes including 20 roses from our front yard and we found several boulders buried underneath huge agave plants that haven’t been pruned or taken care of for a long time. I am trying to get inspiration for a new succulent rock garden and this gave a lot of ideas. Thank you!

[@QueenofSucculents]

PL, you'll find many more great ideas on Laura's channel. This video dates back to before she launched it.

[@saileshramcharan3445]

Amazing video Laura. Learnt more in the last 12 odd minutes than i've done in years of visiting nurseries. Something beautiful too about a knowledgeable gardneress!!

[@QueenofSucculents]

Glad it was helpful!

[@arcar66]

thank you....this is exactly what we need...we're creating a 'kitty park' and you've shown us how to do it with succulents. thank you.

[@teeser2436]

Love Laura Eubanks she’s an amazing designer with succulents.❤️

[@susansmeltzer3001]

OMG! I'm having a heart attack watching you clip the heads off the potted plant! Who knew? Here I am afraid to do hardly anything, and had no idea they were so easy to work with. Awesome!

[@bluerose11]

No kidding. I've been growing succulents for years, long before they were so popular. And this seems totally brutal to me. Had me wincing.

Wow, this is exactly what I needed. A good dose of, just get on with it. I am planning a succulent rockery, tomorrow is the day thanks for the inspiration, ideas and bloody good grounding in not being so delicate.

[@ROSTOCKBEL]

I just loved your video with so much care and love I thought it was only me but you have inspired me more I am just starting my second Rock garden and you have given me so much to work on thankyou from the UK

[@QueenofSucculents]

Thanks, Rosemary, I know a lot of Laura's followers feel the same!

[@donnagrace796]

Absolutely gorgeous! For decades I have wanted to recreate the mass plantings of succulents that drape the landscape in CAL. My most favorite thing to do while visiting is go for a walk by myself around some random neighborhood searching for succulents. Its better for me to do that alone because I tend to forget I am right in the middle of a conversation, stop and stare in awe while the other person keeps on walking..and talking. Obviously I love succulents but I am hesitant to put them in the ground since its such a harsh environment here in the desert of Southeastern Arizona. We live in a cabin on 8 acres out in the desert which has a little private mountain covered with all kinds of cactus & desert shrubs. I am turning it into one massive wildflower/vegetable garden. I want it to look like it is overflowing with life, literally pouring down the sides and flowing into our valley mesquite food forest. When we moved here the whole property was covered in tumbleweeds. Most of the 200+ mesquite trees and shrubs were way overgrown and half dead. My boyfriend and I have worked very hard over the last year to clean it up but now its time to make it beautiful. After watching many of your awesome videos I think I am finally ready to take the plunge and make my dreams come true..I just decided on the perfect spot to showcase my little collection of succulents..Ohh yahh its happening today..no, more like its happening right now..I wish I could just show you what you have inspired me to do..you would love it, I hope.

[@avocadoslicer2441]

Finally! After eating 30+ videos I found a tutorial where she gets to the point. Love your video and I sure will subscribe. Thank you I learned so much ❤️🌱🌱❤️Laura.

[@QueenofSucculents]

Yay! Thank you!

[@CandiceSuter]

OMG Laura is a rebel succulent gardener! I so love this! I learned a lot just watching this video! Can't wait for my back to be better so I can dig more!

[@jojodesca]

I learned so much watching this video!..you really know how to talk to an audience...i am going to do this for sure.....

[@pratimajain9689]

Very beautiful arrangement

[@geetha92533]

Thank you so much for sharing this! It was very enlightening. I made my first attempt with succulents trying to do the same thing, but silly me, I spaced them out like perennials and waited forever for them to grow and fill the space. When they finally did, it looked off, so I pulled them all out to try again. :/ I just couldn't figure out how to get them to look so elegantly full. Now I get it! Thank you so much, I appreciate you posting and Laura demonstrating it!

[@paulodaluzmoreira1]

Thanks, your comment was very helpful, too!

[@karenvoo5608]

This is amongst my favorite of Laura Eubanks videos. Inspirational, now I want to go out and start creating my own pocket garden, she makes it look so easy!!

[@QueenofSucculents]

I'm glad.

[@mayarada2059]

I am absolutely very empress with your beautiful idea , you’re very artistic and I honestly love watching and support with you .

[@HerefordGal]

Oh wow, I'm swooning over the design of this little pocket garden! I lived almost my whole life in zone 9a in N. CA but now live in the high desert of Nevada in zone 6b. I miss my outdoor succulents so much but recently learned that many of the sempervivum are hardy to zone 5! As well as many stone crop. I'm definitely going to try this but I won't have nearly the variety that she has.

[@lynnadames9526]

Absolutely stunning!!!! I can't hardly wait to do this to my garden!!!

[@lifestylebyvita]

This is the first video I saw about succulents and I just fell love!! ❤️

[@mcadoovicky6465]

Beautiful I love watching you do this, it's like therapy

[@lourdespereziglesias6954]

Wonderful for Laura Eubanks!

[@sharoningle5179]

This is a wonderful film, sent to friend, we're going to plan one at each of our homes. love the Pocket idea...really visually appealing.

[@kimmicannon5629]

Love succulent gardens....transplanting my agave tomorrow into my established succulent garden. I'm a newbie....love it here!!

[@EldaVareno]

Wow! Thanks for this video! I never knew it was that easy! I always treat all plants even succulents with so much care when re-potting... And worry about them staying alive! But know I know!

[@lourdespereziglesias6954]

Admirable el trabajo desarrollado por Debra Lee Baldwin. Mis felicitaciones y la exhorto a continuar el mismo.

[@donnavorce8856]

Very nice presentation. Thank you.

[@brencarino4121]

Where can i buy those palm springs gold 3/4 inch gravel? Thanks in advance. Beautiful and informative succulent arrangement. Loving it.

[@QueenofSucculents]

Palm Springs Gold or its equivalent is sold at rock and gravel suppliers. In the San Diego area: RCP, KRC and Southwest Boulder and Stone.

[@chaplynmack7069]

Wow incredible! You have to trust the process

[@marinamartinez6886]

Excellent video! I've been gardening with succulents for years but learned a lot of new tricks, especially that I've been too careful planting them. This video will help me get more massing in my yard. Thank you!

You're welcome, Marina. Glad you found it helpful!

I think it's an Agave plant. I don't think Aloe's get that large. But, I could be wrong.

This is so inspirational, thank you for sharing and for all the tips! I’m new to succulents and would have done things all wrong. I appreciate this so much.

[@QueenofSucculents]

Thank YOU, DeeAnn!

[@TheJuleBoxStudios]

I started my little succulent journey with a tiny little Sedum....those little berry leaves fall off if you sneeze in thier direction so I grew very scared and thought they were super frail. I'm excited to have seen in many videos how tough these guys really are. Not just Sedums but all kinds of succulents! AWESOME video....in my favorites list!

[@lilyrye5651]

I loveeee sedums!! They are so hardy and grow from just the smallest clipping! You can even clip them and put them in water and they root! The ground sedums are beautiful to fill in gardens!!! And they look amazing with chicks and hens! They have tall sedums to and they look beautiful aswell! I have all different kinds of them :)

[@GrandmaBugsPlace]

Always....always wonderful and beautiful.

[@jillianleblanc9370]

[@62venita]

So informative for a newbie succulent gardener. I am inspired! You make it look so easy. I think I have been too gentle with my plants and now realize how sturdy they are. Thank you!

[@rdeloa1]

I love when she says "I don't know any situation more stressful than getting your head cut off"

[@donnagrace796]

Yes, she is right you know..that would be pretty darn stressful.

[@monteladow159]

Loved this video!! Just beginning my first succulent garden outdoors (Z7a) and would most certainly have made more straight lines, even numbers of plants, not grouping and packing them in, etc. Thank you for giving me the confidence to "attack" this project. Thanks again!!

[@Taiju9394]

So so beautiful 🤩

[@nyashachidavaenzi3455]

This has simplified pocket gardens so well, even I can create one 😜

My goal is to have my side garden looking similar to this. Great aesthetic! Im supposed to be going to Las Vegas with my family this spring break (road trip from south Texas) and I'm planning to collect decorative rocks & maybe some cuttings along the way to set & plant. Great video! 👍🌿

[@QueenofSucculents]

Thank you! Laura Eubanks has many more videos on her own channel, too. Best of luck with your garden!

[@lisakingham3967]

Beautiful

[@rickbold9337]

In a tropical country will succulents take full sun? Learned a lot from your creativity!

[@QueenofSucculents]

It depends on how hot it gets. All but a few (cacti, dasylirions, agaves, Portulacaria afra) can't take full hot sun in temps above 85 degrees F.

[@asiaexor7847]

Wow, Amazing!

[@EnlightenedPatriot1]

I am in the UK and just created a small rock garden in the corner of my otherwise-boring, flat, geometrically-shaped front garden to give more of a 3-dimensional aspect to it and was looking for more ideas. Alpine plants dotted around protruding rocks with a covering of small, white limestone, chippings to show up the developing greenery and coloured flowers. It is placed in the corner of a level, bark-covered area about 9 ft x 12 ft with a few planted shrubs. I would like to do the same thing as you but being in NW UK, with cold, damp, wet weather conditions much of the year (unlike the very SW corner of Cornwall and Devon) it looks difficult. However, a quick search online tell me I can try to cover them in winter to protect from frost or put in pots and bring indoors for winter - not practical in my little house. However, I have much enjoyed watching you demonstrate your obvious skills in creating such a beautiful Succulent "Pocket Garden", an unfamiliar over here. Many thanks from across the "Pond" for your interesting video.

[@ExpeditionHomestead]

I wish we could plant succulents that BIG in Wisconsin! Around there our only choice is hardy sempervivum varieties! Great video, I love what your doing

Absolutely beautiful 💕 I LOVE THAT ARRANGEMENT! I’m so careful with my succulents 😩 every time I need to water or do anything I get anxiety, it makes me so nervous 😬 (Lost so many beautiful succulents 😭)Especially when leaves turn yellow, I love succulents but it’s hard to care for them. It’s probably just me though! I love how you make it all look so easy! You’re not afraid to get in there and YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Confidence! That’s extremely evident! 💕 Awesome 👏 video! Just subscribed! 💕 Can you do an outside succulent garden like that in Central Florida?

id love to see if theres any updates. i know its years later though, one can wish. i just recently moved to central texas from south texas and was sad when i realized i cant have succulent gardens year round because of the frost during fall and winter, some even in spring. my heart cried a little, especially when i saw how beautiful this turned out!
