A Succulent Resource Guide
Contributor
We asked author and succulent specialist Matthew Maggio to suggest some good sources for the many and varied plants that he incorporated in the new Succulent Garden at Sherman Library & Gardens, featured in the October 2010 issue of Pacific Horticulture. He provided the following list, which is by no means a complete list of Southern California nurseries specializing in succulents, but it is an excellent list of quality sources for the plants that now appear in the Succulent Garden.
