The Sherman Library and Gardens is Corona Del Mar's succulent and cactus garden. It is full of great ideas and tips. Pat and I first met when she took my online design class, so at Sherman we spent most of our time in the cactus and succulent garden. Each store has a potting bench and design assistance. The design is unified with succulents that resemble undersea flora. Q: Do succulents grow in the desert? Succulents are often considered pets. They want beautiful, colorful containers to add personality and personality to their interiors.
