Succulents-Fat & Sassy Plants
by Marcia Kauffman, VCMGA Member
A Garden for Little People
Victoria County Master Gardener Marcia K has created this video on gardening with Fairy Gardens in the landscape or in containers. She includes many fun examples of how Fairy Gardens can be designed and enjoyed, including a whimsical creation at Victoria Educational Gardens. You can come out and see it for yourself at VEG at the Victoria Regional Airport.
Matt Bochat, Victoria County Extension Agent and Advisor for VCMGA made a wonderful video on April 11 showing Backyard Gardening with his own personal compact Keyhole Garden he planted in February 27, 2020. He and his sons built the garden two years ago. You can see the amount of vegetables he has and his composting feature in the middle of the garden that feeds and waters the plants.
You can also view and make comments and share on our FaceBook page.
