Laura I have that planter! I had so much fun with her. I planted something called Artic Lights grass in her and made it into a bun! Sometimes I let it down too. It was like playing Barbies again. The grass eventually died (I let it dry out) but that was ok because then she turned blonde. Your arrangement is beautiful.

[@carolwarmoth8744]

How fun!

[@ritasicari7518]

LOL

[@SteveL2012]

Denise, where did you get it?! It has both a classical and contemporary look. Need this! 😊

[@hayleyfletcher2773]

This sounds so fun! Laura could possibly be trusted to do a bride’s hair! X

[@mariaferrell8878]

Beautiful arrangement. You are truly gifted. ❤️ love this site. Thanks for sharing.

[@boothgoodies6348]

I’ve never really enjoyed these head planters because they are typically planted with just one plant. But now I see the gorgeous potential!

[@anitacox651]

I would not normally think a head planter was attractive, but she was lovely in her new hairstyle and headpiece!🪴🌸

[@rebeccatheis3188]

Oh Laura, I almost skipped watching this video because succulents are not my “jam”. Your enthusiasm for all plants just draws me in and makes me want to go buy a Head Vase and make a succulent arrangement!!! You have a gift for teaching and we are so lucky you share it with all of us !!

[@alisonpillette5419]

So well said. I agree.

[@victoriakreative]

Same here, I’m not a succulent type but with your arrangements lately I think I’ll give it a try with my kids and low maintenance is always a plus. Thanks for sharing.

[@heartsoul1818]

I think I heard that it's okay to have an arrangement like this outdoors in the summer (Z-8) but not in direct sun. E.g. table on covered front porch? And take them in as weather turns cooler in Fall. Right? ❤

[@rebeccaopgrand7279]

I have never cared for the “head planters” BUT you certainly changed my mind with this video. I LOVE the colors and the combination of succulents. I am going to shop for a head planter for my porch! Thank you!

[@abbydipietro2630]

I found some very similar planters on Amazon of all places! 😊

[@kimberleyfrasquillo3684]

@Rebecca Opgrand, you can also find this head planter at Home Goods.

[@cuervojones4889]

I never did, either, Rebecca! I thought they were sort of "cheesy" but this succulent arrangement is just GORGEOUS! And the way Laura shows how to arrange them and really "pack them in" is very helpful.

[@kathywatt5415]

Beautiful. I got that head planter as a gift several years ago but I never thought of putting succulents in it. What a fantastic idea! It does look like a flower crown. Gorgeous.

[@Nancybartlettofficial]

I could watch you plant succulents all day! ☺️ This is just what I’ve been waiting for, a good arrangement to get me inspired! 🙌🏼

[@laya0563]

Girl I could watch her plant anything all day. 😊 she’s amazing isn’t she.

[@kimgurley472]

I'm not normally a succulent "fan-girl," but oh my goodness, this arrangement is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! Your enthusiasm for the "process" and the "creating" is inspiring! Thank you!

[@juliafiore120]

Good morning, Laura ☕️ that succulent arrangement turned out beautifully! I love it!😍 Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈

[@idaolivera621]

So beautiful...

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Love how this planter came out with all those gorgeous succulents from Mountain Crest Gardens. So pretty ❤

[@shellyroman1321]

I love it when you end a video with a little "recap" peek at the finished product with beautiful music. ("Chefs kiss" moment) This head planter is beyond stunning!♡ After your unboxing of the Mountain Crest Gardens succulents, we bought some for workshops we offer at the flower shop where I work. Sadly, a few came frozen as they arrived during last weeks big snowstorm we had in Minnesota. Most of the plants, however, arrived fine. We look forward to offering and creating Mini Teacup Fairy Garden workshops very soon! Thank you for always being so inspiring♡

[@AllintheDetail]

Same happened to mine last week due to the storm. So sad

[@RC-mc6rc]

I hope she does a succulent submission video. I’d love to see the succulent tea cups!

[@kitstah9741]

Good morning! 🌻🐝

[@eveoliver6846]

We love your work and videos. You and your Mom just inspire us as a family. As a family, we all have completed our flower gardens and look forward to our vegetable gardens this year. My husband is ready to order some products from your Mom's store. He is teaching his great grandchildren about flowers, plants, vegetables, and mother nature. Next time, have a video with your DAD and Brother, it would be so fun. My children and grandchildren hang out with Dad all the time, he loves it. One of their special settings is a tea party with the grandchildren and g. grandchildren once a month. Blessings. Make beautiful memories.

[@shavelka4603]

What fun, thanks for sharing.

[@cadre500]

Absolutely stunning! Thank you Laura for sharing your knowledge and skills with us. I knew nothing about succulents until 5 years ago when I discovered Garden Answer. You can Aaron have found your calling. What a blessing your videos are. God bless you and yours.

[@vickieschipper3526]

HI I wished I could have whisper in your ear when you used a paper towel in your hear planter. For over 50 year I've been using peices of landscape fabrin in all my pots. NO bugs go in and the potting soil doesn't fall out. Whin I first bough landscape fabric it was nonwoven but more like felt. When you buy the good stuff in last more than 20 years. There are some advantages to being 73 years and still gardening daily! Take care!!

[@christycoalson36]

She's beautiful Laura 😍 the string of turtles literally made the wow factor in this arrangement. Love all you do for us 💗 thank you lady 💕

[@carolsmiarowski704]

Laura, I have this container & several Succulents. Just have to get a few draping ones. Can't wait to try. Thanks, I look forward to seeing you & your inspiring shows. Last year I started re-landscaping our front lawn because of all your beautiful gardens & your inspiration. You forgot to remind me that I'm 82. I'll be adding more to the front yard this Spring.

[@laurieanne9712]

Gorgeous! She looks like she's wearing a pretty hat!

[@cidaliapina4792]

Absolutely gorgeous! Laura you need a long tweezer! It’s a must have tool. It tucks roots and tender plants into the tightest spaces and is perfect to make small holes where you need them. I also use mine for grooming plant leaves out of tight spaces. Oh how I would love a succulent hairdo. Can you imagine a succulent hat for a garden tea party? 😊 Thank you for sharing yet another beautiful idea. ❤

[@marilinda0326]

Absolutely gorgeous. Especially with that song at the end.

[@janwindmiller9561]

Love this arrangement! And thanks for turning the container around while you planted it. It was much easier to see how you were nesting the plants together.

[@heidirogers2371]

Laura, what a lovely lady you have created. Succulents have always been boring to me, now, I see their beauty and potential. This beautiful head piece would win a first place ribbon. Thank you for the diversity and charm in your garden talents. You often challenge me to move out of my comfort zone, for which I am grateful.

[@jeanmariedenning62]

Love , love , love succulent color palettes!❤️San Diego gardens have fun with succulents! Wire dress forms create the structure supporting succulent gowns and sun hats . Your imagination is the canvas .

[@barbarahamner]

Oh my, how beautiful she is! ❤️ The Lola flowers remind me of ladies hat pins from a long ago era!! Thank you for another lovely start to the morning!

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

I just know watched this 3-17-23. So glad I watch this, she looks so very beautiful. You have a beautiful talent arranging all flowers and greens. ❤

[@pintsizestories196]

Lovely. Because succulents grow fairly slowly, an arrangement like that will look good for a long time.

[@BlackSwampSurvivor]

I've never been a fan of succulents, but in this application it's nothing but lovely! So enjoy watching how your artistic brain works.

[@elliebee2012]

Just beautiful! You have such talent Laura!

[@myrawest7861]

Enjoyed the Planter Head.

[@DianeCee0]

I love these old school Garden Answer project videos! Beautiful end result.

[@chrisrfan]

Oh she turned out so pretty! You are so creative! Thank you for showing us how rough we can be with succulents, I had no idea! She looks gorgeous, and right at home in the beautiful Hartley!

[@laraemitchell9064]

I really love that planter. It looks great with the succulents. It would also look fantastic with a spider plant or fern. Lots of possibilities!

[@candyt7083]

I've never been a fan of head planters, but you have changed my mind! Love how this turned out and what a wonderful spot to put her in. The whole arrangement there looks like it should be in a picture or magazine.

[@hayleyfletcher2773]

She is so beautiful, all perfectly coming together ☘️ I loved this project! Now I’ll be on the hunt for a head 😆😂☘️ thank you Laura & Aaron, my day doesn’t like being started without you ☘️💚

[@LaPrincessa1947]

Oh, I SO enjoy this video! Love to watch plant arrangements of succulents as well as regular flowers/plants in the large planters! I've enjoyed learning about succulents from you. I used to think I could leave them outside in the hot sun...poor babies...now I know better! Note to Editor: Music selection at end is perfect! Thank you!

[@kerryasquith1867]

I've been looking at head planters for a while but wasn't sure what to put in them. Now I know, I'm getting one! Thank you so much for the video, have a great day!

[@debbenson5253]

I cannot get over how many plants you pack into a container and they look beautiful!!!

[@callie3396]

What an upgrade from a chia pet!

[@JanieH10]

I love your confidence when you plant. It’s contagious! Thanks for letting us hear your thought process as you work. It’s really helpful.

[@lauragreen4899]

You are an artist and so good at your craft!

[@Sunshinelady]

It’s gorgeous!! I picked up that planter a few months back and have been wanting to add something in it. You’ve inspired me Laura…especially on the drain hole part!!🥰

[@lynnventura1322]

Consider using a coffee filter instead of the paper napkin!😊

[@rubythursday3007]

I too have this planter, she is sitting on my desk with a candle that glows above her like a halo! I love what you have done with this, it's gorgeous, and given me a great idea of what to do next with mine. Thank you 🤗😊🪴🌺🌿

[@margaritacanincia1906]

OMG, Laura! I didn't think that succulents could be that beautiful. Thank you for introducing me to them. This arrangement reminds me of a lady in her finest Victorian hat! Congratulations!

[@pamelawilliams7174]

Ken, the music at the end was perfection! Thank you.

[@kathleenreynolds6492]

I don’t typically like head planters but this time you got me! I’ve created round centerpieces for my patio table several years (using your tutorials) and they always get many compliments. That head is so-o-o beautiful that I think I have to do it!

[@godschildyes]

Wow Laura! You have such a gift for arrangements! She turn out beautifully! 😮💐🙏

[@salimorton641]

Laura, I always love your succulent arrangements! I loved that big rabbit you did years ago and the dress form you turned into a gown for Andrew's. So lovely. PS: Arron, I liked the close ups when the planter was finished!

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

She’s lovely and it was a joy to watch her come together. ❤

[@barbarabettina2132]

Das ist ja wunderschön geworden ,eine gute Vorlage für meine Lady,vielen Dank für dieses tolle Video👍

[@juanitagibbs2100]

Bravo Laura Love it great job 👍👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@sc3pt1c4L]

Brilliant mix of colour and texture. I love the creativity!

[@sandythornton5166]

That looks so elegant!! I have to admit that I've never been a succulent fan but this has definitely made me see the beauty in them!! I would absolutely buy this arrangement and love to display it in my home!! You definitely have the artistic touch!! Just beautiful!!!

[@fpscherrer]

What a gorgeous planter! Loved the way you showed the back of it as you packed in the succulents! Thank you also for sharing how you watered them… Succulents are so beautiful, but have always been so intimidating to me! I think I’m a little more confident to approach them! Thank you!

[@bettyangstadt4242]

That head planter is gorgeous! I am learning so much from you about succulents. I’ve always enjoyed them but now learning from you so much more! I’m so happy I found your channel on you tube!

[@fleurjardin1012]

Such a beautiful arrangement! You are so talented whether you are arranging flowers or succulents. You always bring the best out in your plants and flowers! Love it!

[@jacquidanke1263]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A PRETTY POT AND YOU ADD YOUR AWESOME TOUCH TO MAKE IT MORE STUNNING! THANKS FOR SHAING...LOVE WATCHING YOU!

[@startlistening2021]

Your succulents videos are what first drew me to your channel. You make this look so easy but it takes a designer eye to make such a beautiful arrangement.

[@TramAiKhanh]

What a lovely way to decorate a head planter. You are so talented, Laura. Thank you so much for your fabulous tutorial. God bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏

[@debraflowers5905]

Laura she is beautiful. I have never been too interested in succulents, but I have started planting sedum in different areas in my gardens and love them. I have never really watched any of your videos with the succulents, but I am today. This planter has caused me to fall in love with succulents. Thank you!!!

[@annaz9080]

If anyone is interested, I found this planter at Michaels, the tag said its made by Ashland. I think its a bit smaller, 8" tall. Can't wait to make an arrangement!

[@tinascoggin5049]

The gorgeous shots at the end with the beautiful music. Excellent! 🥰

[@mrs.johnson8033]

Everyone I know: KUH-lan-cho KAH-lan-cho kuh-LON-cho Laura 5:08 KAL-en-ko-ee Perhaps it's a regional thing? I had to do a double take with the extra syllable. Like, wait, is that the same thing? Gorgeous arrangement. Thanks to your recent unboxing video our kids and I have now added succulents to our list of interests and gardening experiments.

[@jgwood10]

It doesn’t really matter! Different pronunciation in different parts of the country. We all know what she is talking about.

[@GardenKath]

In general, don't look to Laura for pronunciations, but this time she's correct. In most cases you pronounce each vowel separately in botanical Latin. Another example would be names that end in "ii" are pronounced "ee-eye" e.g. 'jackmanii'. Botanical Latin is fun, once you get the hang of it, and the names are accurate, descriptive, and universal.

[@dianeturner8375]

Succulents are so beautiful! I love succulents! Of course, I love all plants.

[@chrislittebrant5235]

I love this Laura❣️ 🥰 Chris

[@marytomlin2566]

That is so pretty! She looks like she has a old fashion hat on. You are lucky to have those succulents sent to you, they are very expensive in the garden centers and nurseries.

[@kimberleyfrasquillo3684]

👋Good Thursday morning, Laura!!! I loved your statue head so much, that I had been on the hunt for one, since you originally showed her to us. I FINALLY found one this past December and was OVER THE MOON HAPPY!!!!🥳🥳🥳🤗🤗🤗 Mine is, currently, sporting a variegated berkin plant. After seeing this video, she may be getting a new "hairdo".... 😱Oh no, that big sempervivum just tried to bail on you; it must have heard that you were going to crowd her in. She said Nope, I'm outta here..... 🤣😂🤣 I hope it didn't break any leaves off and doesn't bruise, from that long fall onto the stone floor.🤞🤞🤞 👋Hi cameraman Aaron, I didn't realize you were there, until Laura looked at you, about 8:33. That planter is STUNNNNNNNNNNING!!! As usual, you gLauraFied her!😍🤩 💐💐💐💐Brava, Laura, Brava!!!!💐💐💐💐 Beautiful guitar 🎸 music 🎶🎵🎵🎶 at the end!👂👂 Thank you Aaron/Ken!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Have a Blessed and Beautiful day/night 🌞/🌜✨️⭐️🌟⭐️✨️ 🌐 everyone!!! Kimberley F in the Arizona desert 🌞🌵💞🏜 (Zone 9b) USA 🇺🇸

[@Christom672]

It’s beautiful. I’ve got two head planters, similar size, on our outdoor dining table. I’ve put chives in one and thyme in the other. I thought they were cute but this makes me want to try out succulents now. 😍

[@patwebb6522]

I bought a planter pretty much like her last year the end of the fall. I can't wait to plant her up this year. I love those head planters. I think they are soooo cute. Thank you, Laura, for sharing how you can plant them up. This is awesome ❤😊

[@jerrihack6065]

Use landscape fabric to cover pot holes instead of paper towel. Cut off a piece to cover hole and soil stays in place but allows water to drain. I’ve used landscape fabric in pots for a very long time with great results.

[@kimmy0868]

What a beautiful lady you made, your creativity knows no boundaries 👏👏👏👏 And it really occurred to me today, how wonderful it is for you to live your life’s dream. And you’re rockin it all mamma! A mom to two beautiful children, wife, Super gardener, Love it for you and Aaron ☺️ Thank you for sharing as always ❤

[@maryhodges1673]

Oh Laura, this planter arrangement is absolutely gorgeous ❤️

[@kimmiller4057]

I don't usually have luck with succulents because i over love them 😂. But I was obsessed with this so gave it a try. I LOVE how it turned out!! Thank you for the inspiration once again! ❤

[@chichitex1252]

That head plantar was just perfection! You have a gift of plant design!❤❤❤❤

[@pattywestridge2006]

Laura these are my favorites when you do succlents they are so beautiful everytime ...Aaron love the close up shots ...

[@xiloaperez453]

Laura that succulent bust it's stunning!🥰

[@StayPositive050]

This was like a quiet morning meditation. Ken, I listened to that last pretty guitar note. Great information. Beautifully edited.

[@nancyzimmerman1982]

You really have a knack for putting succulents together. Only succulents I can seem to get to survive are the stonecrops and sedums outside.😂

[@didisinclair3605]

Laura, that arrangement is MAGNIFICENT!!!!

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

I LIVE the arrangement with ALL the beautiful succulents!!!

[@rachelarroyo6050]

I was cheering every plant placement! So gorgeous Laura!

[@ddgullible1199]

Beautiful!! A coffee filter works great too for the hole in the bottom.

[@leahjunkins988]

Laura, I have watched your succulent arrangement videos for years and they are ALWAYS fantastic. Thank you for giving us a new one today.

[@suewagoner3615]

That turned out gorgeous! I am waiting on a head planter I ordered to arrive and can’t wait to plant it up! Thanks for the inspiration ❤

[@RandyTodd-ms8yb]

Love what you've done. She looks down right elegant!

[@edit-racha]

Loved this video so much!! The arrangement looks so stunning. I felt like I was watching Bob Ross paint, except it was Laura planting succulents!!!! ❤❤❤

[@OneSparrow-76]

The music and pictures at the end, perfection. Well done, Garden Answer!

[@maryshields1935]

I love how you used the succulents in this planter! The crown is beautiful! I need to find a head planter now!

[@heatherw.2751]

While I don’t love having succulents in my own home, I really enjoyed watching this arrangement come together. It is so pretty!

[@KraftyDigital]

Laura is the Bob Ross of planting arrangements! LOVE!

[@elisecurran9497]

This is one of those projects that makes Garden Answer so special....just wonderful idea, execution, and finishing touch with the perfect music video at the end.....bravi!

[@sherriwilliams8851]

Hello from the snowy state of Maine! I simply adore this idea, so beautiful & the color is gorgeous!! Thank you Laura.❤️❤️

[@kristilindley7849]

Used dryer sheets are a good recycle to use in the bottom of your pots, to keep the soil from coming out and making a mess, and keep it in your pot. I also add a couple inches of pebbles on top of the dryer sheet as extra drainage. Been doing this for years and it works great! kristi

[@lauriecroasdale]

Wow! You really nailed it, Laura. I have this lady with succulents in it as well, but yours looks so much better. And mine doesn't have a drainage hole. Now I will know how to put one in next time around. As always, thanks for the inspiration.

[@michelleaw1325]

I also have this exact lil lady! I love her and have done some awesome hairstyles with some faux succulents from Hobby Lobby. Dont normally use faux greenery, but it gives me the opportunity to switch it up every season if I want!

[@markdcmountp]

You should get a chopstick to help feed in the roots of those little cuttings. Works great 👍🏼 I love the free metal ones that come with Bonsai Jack gritty mix soil.

[@ellengill514]

So Love. When I first discovered you it was the episode with you planting succulents in a clients old Huge bread bowl. I was hooked on succulents and you and your channel.

[@judyheim6998]

Oh my gosh I had the most beautiful head planter that would hang on a wall and when I moved once I forgot it out on the fence what I would give to still have it. That arrangement is just beautiful. I am an artist by profession and that is a work of art. I have a beautiful succulent called Red Velvet_____(?). It literally sparkles in the sun. I need to plant it in something special.

[@janicedonato4531]

Your lady came out so beautifully, you've inspired me to fill mine with succulents! I hope mine turns out half as nice. She is just lovely!!

[@bonnielesher1325]

She reminds me of my trip to Rome! ♥️

[@cjrurka]

Wow! I adore that, Laura! You have a great eye! I’m so leary of succulents, but I need something like that in my life. You are feeding my addiction to plants. lol. Love your videos!
