Stretch your gardening hobby by creating pretty botanical arrangements. They make great gifts and conversation starters.

Envision how you want your little garden to look like. Working with succulents is a good start as they are not as delicate and sensitive as other plants.

You will need:

1 wide shallow container available in any garden shop

1 small ceramic bowl

3 succulents

1 bag of white pebbles

Garden soil, enough to cover the bottom of the container

Branch or twig

Garden hand shovel

Place the tree branch against the bowl as if it were growing from there.

Start positioning your succulents like they were blooms or fruits growing out of the branch.

Tweak it until you get the look that pleases you!

Tip:

• This is a great craft to share with your family.
• Makes a great hostess gift!
