- I recently attended the intercity cactus and succulent show and sale at the Los Angeles Arboretum where I met Diane who recognized me from my channel and we got to talking where I learned about her passion for gardening with succulents and cacti. As we talked I realized her front yard was pretty amazing, so much so that I thought it would make for the perfect episode. We take a tour of her front yard and go over her care routine as well as discuss the award she won for her landscaping after being entered by a neighbor. I hope you enjoy thank you for being here!

Thank you so much for watching the video I appreciate you!
Wow! Your best episode. I so enjoyed seeing how this woman landscaped with desert plants. She really had a vision and let it unfold.
She rocks!!! (And those crystals are a lovely touch)
Envious that she can have her cacti in her front yard like that and it's all good. I grew a San Pedro from a small cutting for over 2 years and had it in my front yard and someone came onto my property with a knife and chopped it up.
Those are assassin bugs and they are good to have in your garden, they are predatory and feed on other bugs. That garden is a dream, it looks absolutely beautiful, she did an amazing job.
Good to know thank you for the intel. I agree. She did a great job
And they come in various colors. I’ve seen a Rasta one that was red, yellow, green
@andyvoltin9321 that's so cool, I've seen black and yellow, and the red and black only. I would love to see a tri- colored one...maybe one day!
Nice. Dianes yard is a credit to her. Fantastic looking garden.
Indeed it is. She knocked it out of the park.
I’ve been collecting cactus/succulents for 6 months now. I had a few I had been taking care of for years, but I came across this channel and several more that sparked my love for them. I got a bad hip injury on a job and now I need a hip replacement and boy does it hurt. So I’m just barely able to take care of them. In GA it’s either blistering hot or pouring rain, honestly not the best environment, everything is in pots, and most of what I own is small because I’m so poor. But I love what I got. I get extremely upset if one dies. So far not a lot. But I love watching things like this still, a little knowledge never hurts anyone, and I get to see beautiful things I’ll never own but atleast i am able to look on my phone and geek out. ❤🌵❤️😽❤️U
It's hard to watch someone else living out and enjoying your dreams 😂
No doubt, huh? I live on the east, about the Mason Dixon Line. I must coax my cacti into winter dormancy every year and bring them inside for winter. I want many, but the more I have, the more ridiculous it is to move them around in their pots. I also must guard them of too much rain, so on days it calls I must porch them, wether it rains or not and I'm at work. So if it don't rain, they miss direct light. The bigger they grow, the more ludicrous it becomes to move them out of the rain, or inside for dormancy. If I only lived in a climate like this, where I could plant them in the landscape and watch them become beautiful decor without suffering rot.
Right! 😅 I live in phx and every year I have casualties from the summer heat
Magnificent looking yard!
Just gorgeous, I can only imagine the cost of all those plants.
The most beautiful yard that I have ever seen.
Diane....Carol sent this to FB where I found it....wow, crazy what you have done to your home...it's very impressive.
The aonium seems to be a super adapter (to its environment). Your clips showing it grow flat and wide to the Rock makes me think it wants to 1. camouflage into the landscape and 2. potentially protect itself from strong winds. Super interesting!!
This is true. There are also different species which some have stems some do not, but it is incredible to see the variability in how they grow when they are pampered versus left to fend for themselves in the wilderness.
Such a beautiful landscape.
Amazing! I wish I could have such a beautiful cactus & succulent garden. Awesome!
Diane did a beautiful job and I love the crystals and agave cornelius.
Yo Quest! Can you do a recent video on your greenhouse, its set up, and your digs?
I need to eventually
You remind me of a cactus and succulent loving Jack Black. I really dig your poison and enthusiasm for these plants 🌵 🌵 🌵
Bravo Diane ❤
incredible variety of succulents and cacti, spectacular!!!
Gorgeous yard. I love the inspiration 😊
You could have this too,at the small price of 10000$ 😂 it looks beautiful
😂😂
good job Diane! wow the front yard looks stunning.
What is that trichocereus at 9:19?! What a beauty.
looks like a psilocereus
It’s a Pilosocereus pachycladus
I know a cactus collector by a cactus front garden. Thanks for the video.
Very enjoyable episode dude 🎉
Gorgeous ❤
Stunning. Thanks Hunter!
Beautiful yard/garden!!
Her garden is beautiful in all angles
thanks for the video! its nice to see shows like this that are near your neighborhood. I think she beat me in buying those agave Cornelius from green thumb nursery. lol
Damn beautiful design! Picking and combining plants is one thing, but nice placement is something else. Some people just have/see it
I am so envious!
Absolutely gorgeous!👏👏👏👏👏👏
I couldn’t agree more
I was just rewatching a few of your videos while practicing guitar. This was great timing!!! 🌵 ❤
⏱️ is everything
Here in Australia those barrel cactus are $600 plus each.... Great garden though.
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
This is very nice yard.
Well done 👏👏😍
Nice quest 🌵🌵🌵🔥🔥🔥🇦🇺
Love!
Nice video,thank you from Chino Ca. Peace
Love love love this cacti and succulent yard❤
Amo los beats de fondo de los episodios
Beautiful 🤩 👍 great job
Thank you, Carlos
What direction is the front of her house facing? The front of my house in South Florida is facing north and I heard that cactus don’t do grow well facing north, but I have seen cactus planted in from the house down the street facing north and they seem to be doing good. Some are big.
Great video as always 👍
Thank you! Appreciate that Carlo!
Love it
Nice!
Hi. Thanks for your wonderful videos. Big fan.
Quick question, what's the lowest temp cacti can withstand in winter? To stay ok
Hunter! Great video!
Thanks John!
This is dope, you’re always killing it man
Very nice! Where is this? Corona? Palm springs? Coachella? Could be anywhere!
Hello, I'm making the switch over to using rainwater for my cacti and I've installed a water butt, however I'm a little worried if the water coming from the gutters may contain things that are harmful for my cactus, should I filter the rain water before using it, with something like a Brita filter?
I believe lawns started in France and then England made it more popular because it shows you have excess land you don’t need to use for growing fruit trees and shows wealth
Awesome
I wish I had a yard like this but the sun out here in AZ is brutal and burns my plants
Was the bug some type of weevil?
As far as plant counts per species. Fibonacci sequence.
What is that tree like plant
Draco tree
The weevils you guys talk about shouldn’t be an issue really. They are sap suckers but only for a temporary amount of time every summer and I’ve never seen damage from them
And not all are sap suckers
Okay word. Good to know
additional tip: kill your lawn and plant natives >>>>
I love those succulents, and I love these American women aswell. They look like they swallowed three french girls, or one dozen k pop models. Like succulents, basically.
The grass was better
