Blanche Gibson, Clermont Garden Club member, is displaying her succulent dish garden this month at the Cooper Memorial Library. She is shown here with librarians Amy Hand and Mary Brown. Succulent plants are thickened, fleshy and engorged, usually to retain water in dry climates or soil conditions. They may store water in various structures, such as leaves and stems in order to have a healthy appearance.
