Mill Creek Park hosted a created your own succulent dish event on Jan. 19 at the Fellows Riverside Garden.
Instructor Judy Stanislaw hosted the event.
“We wanted a variety of succulents,” Stanislaw said, “It makes them more interesting to look at.”
The park provided six different types of succulents and a bowl to arrange them in to each community member who attended the event.
Stanislaw showed each person in attendance how to arrange the different types of succulents in the most aesthetically appealing way.
She instructed community members about the care of the plants as well, including how much to water them and the type of dirt the plants prefer.
“They prefer course dirt,” Stanislaw said, “And very little water, which makes them the ideal plant to keep in your house.”
Stanislaw also instructed community members on how to use the leaves that fall off of the plants as fertilizer for the plants.
“As long as you treat them right succulents can be a very easy house plant to care for,” Stanislaw said. “And beautiful too.”
