earth day succulents


in honor of
 Earth Day
tayli and i potted some plants yesterday while ty and tann were at school

it's been pretty windy and stormy here the last couple of days
so we walked around the yard and found a TON of jade that had been broken off
we gathered all the jade (and some other succulents), dug some dirt and placed them in our pots and planted them! 
a great way to save the plants that otherwise would have died
jade is a great plant to re-pot since it does so well and grows so easily 





have you guys done anything in honor of Earth Day?
doing anything?

i encourage you all to 
reuse 
reduce
recycle
and 
go green
i know i'm trying to!

happy Earth Day friends!

xo,
kass

My latest dream has been to make succulent wall art. I'm going to go foraging for succulents soon. I love that you have them around. They are so beautiful and refreshing to look at. Their colors are so "cool" and soothing.

@Melinda - I love that idea. I've seen some really cool ones around lately and I really want to make one too!

Kassi - so sorry to hear you still aren't feeling well. I really hope you feel much much better soon! And I love your idea for re-planting the jade! I love that our yard is pretty much maintenance free. Our grass is astro-turf (crazy I know) and the rest is decomposed granite and succulents. There are some camellias and rose bushes that use a drip system so that they don't get over-watered. Low maintenance and earth-friendly :)

what a cute little project for you and tay :). i love those succulents....didn't know they were called jade though. thanks for the info :). i didn't do anything in honor of earth day....every day is earth day here in portland....we use recycled materials as art supplies in our classroom and the entire city of portland gets a compost bin that gets picked up along with their garbage pickup and everything is so green that sometimes it's almost annoying. almost. but i'm glad you celebrated. my friend who just moved to LA last summer said that nobody recycles in LA. sad :(. maybe that's just true where she's at though.

ok....this is long and rambling. love you kass!

xo. thanks.
xo. thanks.
