Container Gardening for Big and Small Spaces: Bringing Life to Any Space

Learn simple techniques to bring color and life to your outdoor living space year round with container planting. Join Gamble’s Garden Director Richard Hayden for a demonstration on creating containers with vegetables, herbs, annuals, perennials, and succulents. Topics covered will include plant choice, choosing and combining pots, soil selection, watering and maintenance. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. And you will learn one of the keys to designing a container garden: "the thriller, spiller, & filler technique". Each participant will plant their own container herb garden to take home.
