Outdoor containers add so many possibilities and exciting solutions to enhance and extend our garden display. While many of us choose hanging baskets to brighten up gathering spaces, these are just the tip of the iceberg when choosing where and how to use containers. This program will cover opportunities to showcase color, texture and personal aesthetics in both sun and shade conditions, the many types of containers available, styling lush plant combinations, proper “soil” mixes, moisture and nutrient requirements, impact plants, and end of season care. Get ready for some container inspiration!
