Inspiration: Hanging Succulent Garden

Green thumb? Not us. We swear we must emit a lot of carbon monoxide; mosquitos love us but plants? Not so much. But this year, we're tempted to start a succulent garden after seeing this one at a friend's house.

Hanging in an openwork iron basket, so even we couldn't overwater it, and open to the sun, it fulfills the requirements that plants need to live in our home: easy care, drought tolerant, pretty, durable and native. Wrought iron or cast iron hanging baskets can be found at your local nursery; we also found one at Plow & Hearth and at Smith & Hawken

Give it a try. I absolutely have a black thumb for houseplants. For years I've tried and they've died. Except for succulents, cacti and geraniums (the pelargonium kind). I decided this year to liberate myself from houseplants and now I buy flowers to bring plant life into the house. But I kept the three aforementioned types of plants and they are doing splendidly with virtually no care.
