Container Gardening- Thrillers, Spillers and Fillers
Perhaps your growing space is limited or you have just a little bit of time to spend in the garden? Maybe deer and pests are getting the best of you? Container gardening may be an alternative for your gardening needs. Almost any plant, including bulbs and herbs, can be grown in a container as long as you know how to care for them. We’ll show you how to "re-purpose" things around the home for use as planters. At this workshop you’ll discover the "5 Rights" for their container gardening:
- The Right soil
- The Right container
- The Right watering techniques
- The Right plants, and
- The Right sun exposure
