Soon: It’s the Succulent Extravaganza at Succulent Gardens Nursery! Fri-Sat, Sept. 28-29, 2018, 8 to 4. Free.
Succulent Gardens nursery in Castroville, CA, hosts the Succulent Extravaganza, one of the largest succulent-themed events, the last Friday and Saturday of September every year. The location is in northern CA near San Francisco, between Santa Cruz and Carmel. This year is the 8th annual. Attending the Succulent Extravaganza is a wonderful opportunity to enrich your knowledge of succulents, view and acquire gorgeous specimens, visit a premier specialty nursery, learn from expert growers and designers, and mingle with fellow succulent enthusiasts.
The Succulent Fanatics, a Facebook group founded by San Jose master gardener Laura Balaoro, host a display table with succulent-themed compositions made by members. It’s a fun gathering place, and everyone’s welcome whether you’re in the group or not. Because it’s international with thousands of members, you never know whom you might meet!
This dish garden on the Succulent Fanatics table, by Danielle Romero, has a sansevieria that emphasizes a lovely red-edged aeonium. Danielle and husband Michael Romero professionally design succulent gardens in the Los Angeles area.
Every year there are new things to see and numerous photo ops…
For example, who could resist having their photo taken within a succulent frame?
Laura Balaoro is known for decorating her hat or visor beautifully with succulents. Discover out how she does it, and get design inspiration.
This giant succulent heart was the hit of the Succulent Extravaganza several years ago. The event started in 2010, when Robin Stockwell owned the nursery. He has since retired, and new owners Megan and John Rodkin have continued the Extravaganza tradition, with quality plants, displays, ideas and enthusiasm.
Horticulturist-nurseryman Aaron Ryan’s propagation demonstrations typically have standing room only. Impressed by Aaron’s knowledge, I devoted a post to it and have made several YouTube videos.
One year, the succulent globe that nursery founder Robin Stockwell made for the San Francisco Flower & Garden Show was on display. Nothing like it had been done before, and I think you’ll agree it takes vertical gardens to a whole new level. In the foreground, San Diego floral designer Marialuisa Kaprielian demonstrates how to wire succulent rosettes, with Robin and wife Sanne looking on.
