Next, put low growing plants to fill the container, called Fillers. Lastly, plant flowers that will flow over the container, Spillers.
Jo Fleming shared various techniques on how to propagate healthy succulents.
Clermont Garden Club sold decorative flower pots, garden gloves, and potted plants. All monies raised are used to sponsor the Wekiva Youth Program, SEEK (Save the Earth’s Environment through Knowledge), and ECHO (Educational Concerns for the Hungry Organization).
