Container Gardening: Big Impact in Small Places

April 19, 2024 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am EDT

New Registration Procedure!

We have switched to a new registration procedure. You will register directly via Zoom and will receive the confirmation with the Zoom link right away.

We know there is an ongoing problem with the registration process via Zoom that requires folks to double register. We create the original registration form about a month before the class is scheduled. Unfortunately, the presenters aren’t usually ready to share the class resources until the week of the class.  When we edit the registration email to add the resources, it results in forcing folks who registered before the revised mailing to re-register. Our apologies!

Class Description

Tight on space but itching to grow something? Gardening in containers may be a solution for you! Gardening in containers is a great way to grow both ornamental and edible plants even if you don’t have a few acres. Extension Master Gardener Benton Murphy will cover the basics of container gardening, including raised beds, selecting the right container, suggestions on plants well-suited for containers, care tips for your pots, planters and raised beds, ways to create seasonal interest with containers, and more!
