Is something we try to do often at A Place to Grow. It seems that everyone has something beneficial to offer! So today, in honor of
Halloween and the blending of ideas, I thought I would share one of my favorite fall crafts. The Succulent Pumpkin Planter! A perfect blend of the Central Coasts love for succulents and this season's symbol, the pumpkin. Though today is Halloween, don't worry, these decorative planters are the perfect accent for all of autumn or even year round.
In order to create this fun and easy twist on the typical Jack O' Lantern, here is what you will need:
- A Pumpkin- Mix it up! Any shape, size, or color will work.
- Serrated knife and scooping spoon
- Potting soil
- A variety of succulents
The process is pretty simple. First, cut a circle around the stem of the pumpkin (as you would a normal Jack O' Lantern). Remove the lid you have just created and begin scooping out all the seeds and gooey pumpkin insides. Then fill the inside half way up with soil and place in the desired succulent. Fill in the empty space inside the pumpkin with more soil, if needed. You're done, your very own Succulent Pumpkin Planter!
Enjoy spending time with your family and friends as we head into the thick of the holiday season, and remember use it as a chance to get creative with all you grow in your garden!
love this! the "boo" is my favorite.
