About our unique cactus dish planters

Cactus and succulent dish gardens can be fun, easy and educational for young and old. They can also be used to add an attractive and unusual centerpiece for your coffee or end table. Having a southwestern theme party? A reception? A bar mitzvah? These planter kits are easy to assemble and are increasingly being used as table centerpieces for such gatherings. The variety of shapes, colors, foliage, and spines can add interest, even novelty, to your event. Why continue to use the same old flowers?

Mushroom kits, each with 7 plants, can be shipped to the east coast for a total cost under $60.00 each. Other locations would be a little less.Your party coordinator can assemble each in 30-45 minutes. Please inquire about special events and parties for a different centerpiece!Cacti and succulents come in many different shapes, forms and colors with different configurations and colors of spines, leaves and blooms. The thousands of different species of plants can be utilized in dish gardens for attractive decoration and to create a pleasing visual indoor mini-landscape.

DESERT GARDENS specializes in using these varied plants to make indoor succulent gardens. Remember, all cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti!

As a cactus and succulent grower for many years, I found that virtually every source for dish gardens looked the same. Everyone offered the same round pot crammed with the same group of barrel cacti. It is very difficult to create an interesting effect or to highlight a particularly interesting plant in a circle – everything gets equal billing!

While I designed these planters to be used primarily with succulents, they are also great for herb gardens and work well for showy blooming annuals.
