Container Gardening Basics

Join Master Gardener Lise Varner as she teaches all about gardening in containers.  You can garden anywhere; balconies, patios, driveways and more.  With containers we can bring great tastes, textures and smells closer to us, and keep gardening manageable by choosing plants and container sizes that meet our needs.

In this class you'll learn the basics of container gardening:  soil, water, fertilizer, container materials (clay, plastic, etc.), container sizes, and common pests.  Then you'll learn about a wide variety of plants that do particularly well in containers, with special emphasis on fragrant plants, plants that are fun to touch, and edible plants such as herbs, fruits and vegetables, including ones that you can plant right now!

In celebration of Adult Summer Reading, we will have a drawing at the end of the program for giveaways.
