A Dream Come True - 
Rare Succulents Nursery
How to Develop and Build a Nursery
by Petra Crist

Looking forward to share some of my 'craziness' - the development of the nursery on property my husband and I bought in early 2009 that is now the home of Rare Succulents Nursery.

BIO - In 1994 I came from Germany to California.  Shortly after moving here we went to have a look at the Inter-City Show.  I was utterly overwhelmed trying to take it all in.  My husband and I also travelled to some of the habitats.  I started playing around with what I could do, taking advantage of Southern California weather.  My collection eventually exceeded 1,000 plants.
