I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I am a huge fan of succulents, and this looks quite pretty!

Megan and Cheryl, I assume you’re both on the west side of the Cascades? I am on the east. My succulents survive very well in the unheated, but insulated garage, so they will likely do okay for you outside against the house.

Well, Cheryl, I’m not a gardening expert by any means at all, and I’m also up here in the PNW, so I’ll let you know how they do as the season trudges on. I usually move my potted succulents inside for the winter, but these bricks are up next to the house, and seem to be doing well. But the weather has just started getting cooler up here. I guess if they don’t make it, I’ll throw some hardy herb starts in, like thyme and rosemary, and see how that goes.

Great idea! However, I wonder how well the plants would survive during my Pacific NW (Seattle area) winters?

I had a thought that this would equally be a great way to grow an herb garden!

Oh. My. Goodness. I see a late summer project for the kids…we just happen to have bricks out front that we were going to take to the dump. Yeehaw!
