Container gardening is so similar and yet so different from growing in-ground, that it requires its own spot in the sun. Come on a crash course in growing plants in pots. Learn everything you need to get started and keep your containers going beautifully. Learn about containers/planters, plants, soil, pests, composting.
Pen and paper for note-taking. Tea and coffee will be provided in the staffroom.
