Container Gardening

Container gardens aren't just for flowers anymore! While they can be purely decorative and ornamental, they are also used for produce gardens and for architectural purposes. Join us as we learn about these topics, as well as plants, flowers, vegetables, and herbs most prevalent in our area and discover the most environmentally and cost efficient ways of creating our own. A "make and take" container garden will be part of this workshop!
This workshop is in the FM Annex (behind the Forbes Center) room 1051.
