Succulent gardens are designed using a variety of succulent plants, which are known for their thick, fleshy leaves and stems that store water. These gardens thrive in dry conditions and require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for arid climates or for gardeners seeking low-water options. Common types of succulents include aloe vera, sedum, and echeveria. Creating a succulent garden involves selecting a suitable location with plenty of sunlight and well-draining soil. Gardeners often use decorative pots or raised beds to enhance the visual appeal. Succulent gardens can be arranged in various styles, from formal designs to more natural, wild layouts, allowing for creativity in landscaping.
