Artistic Aspect of Growing Succulents
Presented by Nicki Bradford
We are pleased to have one of our “own” be our
speaker this month. Nicki will do a hands-on demo showing us the artistic aspect of growing succulents. She will demonstrate how to make a
succulent pumpkin. This is a perfect time of year to show off fall colors and decorate with a
living centerpiece!

She has served on the Master Gardeners’ Board of Directors,
chaired the 2011 Spring Garden Tour, participated in plant clinics, worked on the MG Hotline and has taught Adult Education Classes at the Garden
