Karen Webster comments, “Whether you are an apartment dweller with a green thumb and a balcony or a plant-lover with a patio or a gardener with a large yard, you can always make room for a container garden. Containers can vary from the elegant to the whimsical, but with the proper planning and a touch of imagination, you can plant a successful container garden that will enhance your landscape whether large or small. While containers are the perfect answer to gardeners with only a terrace, outdoor patio or limited yard area, there are differences between planting in pots and in-ground planting. This presentation will explain and demonstrate how to choose the right container for different spaces and how various combinations of plants can be used for effect in different sized containers, as well as tips for the type of soil needed and how to ensure your display thrives.“ Join the class in person or via Zoom to learn Karen's secrets for creating beautiful arrangements to enhance any area of your outdoor spaces!
