Creekside Oaks Retirement Community

Looking to start an indoor garden for yourself or a loved one? We recommend setting yourself up for success by picking plants that can thrive indoors with little effort! Succulents are an excellent choice because they look beautiful while requiring little watering, pruning, or maintenance.

Did you know that one of the most important parts of creating a garden happens before you even start digging or planting seeds? The first step to any successful garden is making a plan!

So before you dive in and get supplies for your fall plants, we recommend grabbing a pen and paper and mapping it out. You’ll be glad you did!
