Succulent Garden Maintenance One Year In🎉

Lots and lots to unpack on our first official visit one year post installation in Del Mar, Ca.
Enjoy!

[@philliesphillips6346]

I absolutely love all her sayings and how she expresses herself it's just so hilarious and cute

[@angelakorte4187]

You're right Laura.....its like vacuuming a dirty carpet....lol ....

[@loras3169]

OK Laura, I’ve been following you for a long time now. When you do maintenance on a previous installation, you need to link the old grand reveal. So we can go back and see what it looked like in the beginning. I’m searching through old videos of yours to find this grand reveal, so I can see how much the plants have grown. (something I do very often on your annual maintenance videos) if it’s possible, it would be helpful for you to link the original videos

Winner winner team Cactus ❤❤❤ cactus wall.

[@swatigokhale9495]

The moment u mentioned the birds of paradise i cld instantly recognise which installation this was. The succulent garden is thriving and beautiful

[@pollytiks3885]

I’m one of those ppl who finds it therapeutic watching the removal of spent barrel cactus flowers. For a year between maintenance the plants look happy and beautiful. Question: have you ever had anything jump out (snakes, critters), 😱 or found anything amazing? It’s a beautiful layout and the view is spectacular. Adding more specimens to my wish list!

[@RoseTorn411]

OMGEEE i came for the succulent and cacti but stayed for the host! Lol the way she slipped in "she gon pack it up" and "it's all good in the hood" 😂

[@Fabdanc]

So good I watched it twice in one day.

[@lorithompson9166]

My favorite videos are your install updates. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@cindygross116]

I think my favorite videos are the maintenance videos. I always go back and watch the install to see the difference. This is one of my favorite gardens ❤

[@abr5873]

It would be so cool to see a 360 VR video of one of your gardens someday! I find myself talking to my ipad “wait go back I want to see that plant!” Think about it. I of course have no idea how it’s done 😉

[@bobbiechinn9578]

Yayyyyyy!!!!! Thank u Mrs Eubanks! I'm so happy you're back to feeling better! You are my go to fav I can't live without u! 😘😘😘 loves to u!

[@trishgrove810]

Has it really been a year already?? That's scary. Beautiful, as always🤩

[@BobiJadue]

This was so fun to watch!! I love how much this install has grown!! 😍😍

[@MIchelle-cairn_mom]

It’s amazing. Was gorgeous cute install, now just drop ☠️ gorgeous maturing. Is it too much to link the original install in vid description?

[@whit3nick556]

You should show flashbacks from a year before so we can see it side by side, like a little before and after picture/video

[@whit3nick556]

Like a Picture in Picture of the garden a year before

[@missygilly9917]

Wow! A year already? The garden still looks amazing despite the high heat of summer. Very interesting to see that even succulents need some protection from the sun, in some cases. Love watching your videos & all your installations of succulents as I’m near Niagara Falls Canada where we have harsher weather and four seasons. Watching your videos is like going on a botanical garden tour of succulents and how they’ll look once grown.

[@cacticollector6542]

That purple mangabey in the backyard is gorgeous. Everything has really grown and looks happy.😍❤️🌵

[@marilynrich]

Tree leaves drive me nuts too! 💚💚💚

[@marthahernandez191]

The color on those agaves are beautiful and very happy 💚👍

[@tashaking8907]

Your gardens are so inspiring.

[@nicolewoods8197]

Everything looks beautiful. We went from crazy heat to cooler weather to rain for a couple days. Oh my gosh, I'm so looking forward to being able to get out in my garden and clean and move things around this weekend. Until then I am going to binde watch your videos! LOL!

[@jillianleblanc9370]

Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection lovely garden

[@1craftladytoo]

I love the two teal planters and the fire sticks!!

[@juanramos.jr.7948]

I love weeding and maintenance. I find it therapeutic!! Some of my best ideas happen when l weed!🤣🤣

[@jstamps9578]

Definitely a favorite of team DFS' artistic installations, but seeing this year along video, with your comments and visuals of growth is invaluable information for us watching. I'll add this to several of your videos that continue to educate me about succulents and their beauty, growth, ease of repositioning, pruning, pest treatment, and how they can answer our growing climate drought reality, in such a beautiful way. 💚

[@imeldamayer-taylor2783]

Beautiful 😍😍👏.

[@dianaballew6329]

These garden are so spectacular! The plants are so healthy and glowing! Thank you for the tips. I hesitate to make changes in my own collections, but after seeing your videos, I have become braver in making modifications.

[@boulevardiere1623]

It's helpful to watch the evolution, as you make decisions after letting things grow on for a while. I'm doing the same in a wildly different climate, watching to see which plants can handle being wet, constantly, then bone dry for two months in the summer. Your wisdom extends well beyond succulents!

[@almamoore9273]

Good Evening Boulevardiere did you find out which plants can stand beings wet for a long time without rotting? Where I live in Alabama, sometimes doing the summer we get a lot of rain. Hope to hear from you. Thanks

[@boulevardiere1623]

@@almamoore9273 Hi Alma, it will take a couple more seasons to really test out different plants, but so far there are a few that are reliably OK with being very wet. Astilbe, hostas, hydrangeas, ferns, hardy hibiscus, rhododendrons and azaleas all do well in our rainy climate. I'm way up in the Pacific Northwest, so I can't speak to what grows well in Alabama. It looks like AL is mostly a similar growing zone to my area (7b to 8b), but I'm guessing it gets much hotter there in the summers, so the plants I listed would need more shade. As far as succulents, Sempervivums and hardy Sedums seem like they can handle some rain if they're planted in a gritty, well-draining medium like pumice and have good air flow and direct sunlight. They do well on slopes and in rock gardens, where the water can run right off. I'm happy for (and jealous of) anyone who can successfully grow succulents outdoors. Good luck with your gardening!

[@almamoore9273]

Hello Boulevardiere. Thank you for replying, all those you named does really well here also, but I just love watching Laura and the succulents, that's what I'm into now, well along with the others. I do my meditation and praying when I'm working outside. Again I thank you for your response, I hope you and your family have a safe and blessed thanksgiving.

[@boulevardiere1623]

@@almamoore9273 Ah, yeah, I wish I could plant succulents, too! They just don't survive the cold or rain here, except for the Sempervivums and Sedums I mentioned. I have some in pots I put outside when it's warm and dry, then bring back in for the other 10 months of the year, but otherwise I just watch Laura's work and dream. :) I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, too!

[@robingrunzweig3940]

what a beautiful garden! it looks fantastic and the plants are obviously very happy (and who wouldn't be with that climate and that view!)... it must be a satisfying feeling to visit an installation a year after and see it doing so very well, congratulations to you and the team for a job well done (again)!! and yeah, picking the blooms off a barrel ❤❤... i'd watch that, lol... 🥰🥰🥰

[@dianearmoogan3326]

The garden look very nice 👌 👍 ❤😊.

[@bethreisman8869]

I know succulents and messy trees are so much work HOWEVER there is nothing more beautiful than trees with succulents growing under healthy trees IMO. ❤

[@normacid5144]

Before and after photos please. So pretty

[@beverlyasleson3321]

Did you have to rake, use a Blower or hand pick up all the leaves from that tree without disturbing the pebbles? It all looks great now.

[@jenniferosullivan1222]

This garden haven’t been a year, but is very healthy .

[@lalop123]

Not that all your gardens aren’t special in their own way, but this one in particular is very special because the client had sentimental pieces of his late wife. To be given a project and mission to honor her in the garden must have been a bit of a challenge. But y’all hit it out of the water! My question is when handling a garden project like this where a client or clients have sentimental pieces of past loved ones, how do you factor those into your design and make sure it meets both your design aesthetic + the client’s wishes/expectations?

[@LauraEubanks]

Very carefully😊

[@PipMiister]

🏵🌵❤

[@ColorMeGreenA21]

Hello from Orange County. Do you think when you do these walkabouts could you put the names of the plants on screen sometimes listening and don’t quite catch the name . Thank you

[@janetyamashige9573]

That neighbor with the messy tree ought to pay for the portion of the maintenance service fee that covers the cleanup of the tree droppings. We're not talking about just a few leaves here and there--this is a real mess. It's not fair that your client should have to pay for that.

[@nathanlittle2707]

Do you ever allow any of you barrel cactus go to seed ?

[@MIchelle-cairn_mom]

Barrels take forever to grow from seed. Successful 2yrs seeding gets you a 2” plant. Pups grow from the seeds sometimes she’s de-pupped rarely tho. Amazing plants.

[@theherbst4851]

Does anyones' succulent get caterpillars burrowing into the leaves? My Echeveria Enfant keeps getting eaten my caterpillars inside out
