Marg Hutton

Marg is the brains (and the green fingers) behind going Potty with Marg.


Marg creates succulent and cacti arrangements in a variety of individual and often quirky pots.


These mini gardens are very resilient making them a perfect gift for someone with a busy lifestyle (don't we all!?)


Marg goes to a lot of trouble selecting the plants, which she propagates and grows herself, matching them with suitable pots.
Sometimes she enhances the arrangement with stones or figurines.


Marg will be bringing a large range of her potted creations to Mountain Makers next week, so be sure to check out her display.

You'd be potty not to!
