I used four different succulents, one orange, one red, one teal and one green, and soil for this project. For the designs I used sand to make four paths all connected in the center, in the center of the paths are yellow flowers, and along the path are white rocks. This assignment is a project done in my horticulture class.

I used the normal succulents, but the most appealing ones I could find. I liked these because of the color and height on them. I also tried to make it look like a beach scene like almost walking through it with trees. I tried to keep simple but also hard to look at

I used a variety of succulents and hardscape.. When it came to the hardscape I used many things like Sand ,Rocks, and little daisies. How I wanted to set up my design I really made it seem like the pot is half sand and half soil. The rocks gave it that beach vibe which is what I was going for.

I had to put a lot of work into it for it to come out really good and nice. And also I had put sand so the little flowers could really pop out in the pot. The design I ended up doing was putting sand in the middle going through like river sand. The other part I had put was 3 plants for it to give it a detailed look.

I used various types of succulents, including echeveria elegan, aeonium, pachyveria ‘bea’, and graptosedum ‘alpenglow’, in a large potting pot. I added sand, rocks, daisies, and pink portucalas for an artistic element. The aeonium was the focal point, while the alpenglow added color and the other succulents gave it a touch of green.

Nature's Palette Succulent Planter
Lizbeth Ortiz & Yuridia Lira, Everett Alvarez High School, Horticulture
For my succulents I used Canary Aeonium, Petrosedum Sediforme, Haworth’s Aeonium, and Haworthia Cymbiformis. I chose to make it this way because I wanted to use placement and design that complemented the succulents. For my hardscape I used daisy’s and rocks on the outer parts of the put and made a pattern with them to finish my planter.

This vase floral arrangement was made for Valentine's Day, to celebrate love and connection. I named it “Galentines” because I wanted a neutral design that was not exclusive to romantic relationships. I included a thoughtful combination of cabbage roses, tulips, wax flowers, and many different foliage.

This is an example of the kind of projects that we do in my Ag Business- Floral class. This project specifically was the arrangement I made for Valentines Day. This type of arrangement is one of the more challenging ones because there is no foam and another reason why it is harder is because you want the water to be clear of any debris.
