Look what we found in the Garden Shop today.  A cute little turtle filled with cacti, or succullents!

Succulents you ask?  Here’s an abbreviated definition from Concise Encyclopedia.

Any plant with fleshy, thick tissues adapted to water storage. Some succulents (e.g., the cactus) store water only in the stem and have no leaves or very small leaves; others (e.g., agaves) store water mainly in the leaves.

Come see us if you’re interested in a cactus garden.  they’re cute and prickly, easy to care for and tolerant of  people without a green thumb.  They would also make a great Father’s Day Gift.  Lots of sizes, all prices…there’s something for everyone!
