Container gardening has gained popularity as we want the enjoyment and benefits of gardening with smaller spaces and less time. Let Botanica Gardens’ very own container gardening gurus, Sherri Booe and Allen Lewis, show you how to add a splash of color to your deck or brighten your garden all season long. You can grow your own vegetables almost anywhere and with less work in a container. From a single pot to trellises to screening your patio with plants, container gardens offer something for everyone. SOME OF THE TOPICS TO BE COVERED ARE:

• Planting & care tips
• Selecting the right container
• Soils & fertilizers for best results
• Design: form, color & texture
• New plants & old favorites
