Building a Vertical Succulent Garden

My DIY projects lately have been structured and in workshop settings. The good thing about attending workshops for the projects I'm interested in making is that I 1) learn skills from experts who know what they're doing and 2) get exposure to tools I've never worked with before. Both are so valuable in expanding my ideas and allowing me to realize what I'm capable of making with my own two hands.

​At this month's Do It Herself workshop at Home Depot​ we made a Vertical Succulent Garden. You can find step-by-step details here!

​This was a simple project, but I still learned a lot. My brother-in-law's girlfriend, LeeAnn, came along to this workshop and we had fun putting this project together as a team!

​I encourage you to watch Home Depot's official tutorial, but I'll give you a rundown of how simple this project was to make:
  1. Screw together the frame.
  2. Staple in chicken wire.
  3. Staple in weed barrier.

      4. Pack with dirt (and I mean PACK it).
​      5. Close back with nails and piece of wood.

       6. Add screw eyes to the top of the frame.

​       7. Add rope or chain to hang.
       8. When ready to plant succulents or flowers, cut small 
​            hole in weed barrier and insert plants.​

​As you can see. Pretty easy. We were able to finish this project in around an hour. LeeAnn got to take it home with her and before we left she bought the hardware she'll need to hang it (it's HEAVY) and some flowers to plant in it. It was the perfect project to kick-off spring!
