Today’s PlanetJune Story<\/strong> comes from Susan McCarthy from Norfolk MA. I always love to see people using my potted plant crochet patterns in new and creative ways, and Susan’s fabulous multi-tier succulent display definitely fits that bill!<\/p>\n

I’ll let Susan explain:<\/p>\n

\n

I belong to the Garden Club of Norfolk (Massachusetts) and each month someone signs up to do a display for our town’s library. I decided to crochet a succulent display for the month of June. And for a week in June 2023, the Garden Club and Library cohosted Books in Bloom<\/em>, where a dozen designers from the Club made floral displays inspired by a book…so my crocheted succulent display got to do double-duty and be part of the show as well.<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune<\/p>\n

I crocheted 46 plants for the three-tiered display. The top tier used June’s pattern for the large pot. I then expanded on the pattern to make the two larger pots for the middle and base. I inserted a circle of plastic canvas and a couple of stockings filled with plastic pellets to the bottom pot to keep the piece stable. <\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune<\/p>\n

Well over a hundred hours of work done here and there over months (with, of course, some power crocheting two weeks before it was due for display!) I got so many compliments on the final piece. And I credited June on the card that sat with the display.<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune<\/p>\n

Thank you June for creating such wonderful patterns!<\/p>\n

\n

(Back to me, June, again!)<\/em><\/p>\n

I love this display so much, and that it was part of the Books in Bloom<\/em> Library show! You can see how much work Susan put into this, and it was definitely worth it to create such an amazing eye-catching project. Isn’t it wonderful?<\/p>\n

Susan, I’m not surprised you’ve been showered with compliments about this piece! And thank you so much for sharing your story with us today \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Please leave Susan a comment if you’ve enjoyed this post!<\/strong><\/p>\n

PS – If you’d like to crochet your own succulent display, Susan used the patterns from Succulent Collections 1, 2, 3 and 4 in her display, and you can find all those patterns (and more!) at www.planetjune.com\/cacti<\/a>!<\/p>\n
