Beautiful Succulent Gardens

Surrounding ourselves with plants offers us a host of benefits that make our lives better on many fronts.

Not only do plants offer us fresh oxygen while they remove harmful airborne chemicals and poisonous gases from the air we breathe in our modern-day lives, but they also allow us to commune with nature, which is good for our peace of mind and overall well-being. Plants are good for the soul.

In addition plants help reduce allergies in some people, reinvigorate our minds, reduce noise pollution and stress, and support general morale in the home and in work environments.

This is why so many people dedicate much of their time and attention to gardening. The act of digging in the dirt and then watching a plant grow from a seed or a tiny start or cutting into a healthy, flourishing, and beautiful spectacle is gratifying and brings a sense of connection with things greater than ourselves.

A Must-Listen for Aspiring Gardeners!

I just finished "Succulent Gardening: The Beginner's Guide to Succulent Container Gardens," and it was fantastic! This audiobook made caring for succulents easy and fun. It covers everything from selecting and planting to propagating and creating beautiful displays. The practical uses of succulents were an interesting bonus, and the tips for stunning arrangements are inspiring. The narrator is clear and engaging, making the information easy to follow. Perfect for anyone who thinks they have a brown thumb. Highly recommend!

Fascinating

I never expected this short book to be so interesting. Te narrators enthusiasm is simply infectious. He either is really into this form of gardening, or dong a great job acting!

Better in the printed version

The reader has a old voice, which to me (not English-native) at first sounded like a slightly drunken man, whose words you can understand.
The description of how to organize the vases, the terrain, the plants is very useful. But it is less than a quarter of the book.
The rest of the book, the most part, is the reason why I suggest to go with the printed part: the rich lists of plants and the description of how to artistically organize the vases, hanging pots, etc.
They sounded like the caption for pictures. If I can see the picture of a prickly pear or one for an aeonium, I can link the image to the name.
After hearing dozens of names, I lost track and neither Google could help.
Same with the vases and arrangements of the plants.
Maybe I'll try another book read by Mr. Lennon, I don't think for another audiobook from Better Gardening Guides. In the printed version, maybe.
