Hosted by longtime neighbors and friends, Margaret Roach of A Way to Garden and Bob Hyland (formerly of Loomis Creek Nursery), who have collaborated on garden events for decades. "Contained Exuberance" is a hands-on workshop to help you design and plant your containers/pots for the season.
Learn how to select pots (terracotta, earthenware, concrete, cast iron, polyethylene, and a host of lightweight resin and fiber pots) that fit your lifestyle and marry a wide range of plants to your containers. We'll cover: design, turning other vessels into pots, what makes a good potting soil, feeding, watering and other care, midseason tuneups for long-lasting impact beyond "annuals" -- everything goes!, scavenging in the garden for container subjects, staging of pot groupings. Classes are limited to 23 people per session, so sign up today!
Fee: $45 (includes beverages and a snack). See website for cancellation policy.
