We took off work early Friday and headed south for Big Sur. We were pretty darn excited to finally visit Succulent Gardens, and it was as cool as we expected it to be.
Thousands of succulents. This place is HUGE!

There’s at least one or two more posts for this amazing place. If you ever find yourself between Santa Cruz and Monterey make sure you stop by for a visit. Robin Stockwell you are a succulent GOD. (We’re typing this in Big Sur right now, headed down to the Central Coast next).

Right!
What a fabulous place, huh? Also, it doesn’t hurt that there is the best taco places right across the highway from the nursery!
Tacos and succulents… what’s better than that?

Hello Debbie, We picked up a couple succulents that have been on our wish list like a Octopus Agave (Agave vilmoriniana), and Saucer Aeonium (Aeonium tabuliforme).

These photos are amazing, what a nursery, all I deal with all day is annuals and cold hardy perennails. What a dream it would be to live in a climate that is so hospitable to such beautiful looking succulents. WOOWWWW
