"Home & Family" garden expert Shirley Bovshow has another great living indoor DIY. These arrangements are made from palm fronds and succulents. They live in a mossy bed wrapped in chicken wire. It's easy to make. When finished, elevate the arrangement with driftwood, glass blocks or books to keep the surface off your table. Moisture will transfer.
