Tricia and Debra Lee Baldwin talk succulents at the San Francisco Flower & Garden Show.

Nothing like learning from the best—Debra Lee Baldwin taught us new tricks for growing tender succulents.

Of course Debra would know—she’s the famed “Queen of Succulents” who lectured at the San Francisco Flower & Garden Show, and is author of Succulent Container Gardens.

Tricia and Debra met in front of a small show garden, designed by award-winning Bay Area designer Michelle Derviss. Watch the video for Debra’s master class on how to create a warmer climate zone in your garden.

Use Debra’s tips and plant your own succulents outdoors, or as a container garden that can move indoors (or under the eaves) in the winter. We have a range of delectable succulents for you, to ship anywhere in the U.S.

Nearby? Come have fun at the popular Succulent Bar in our Grass Valley nursery. Bring your own container (funky or formal); we provide FREE special potting soil and a variety of top dressings in many colors and textures. All you buy are the succulent plants! No container? Buy one from our selection.
