Ideas for container design and form will be provided along with a demonstration of plantings in a unique container. Participants will discover an amazing number of plant possibilities and an equally amazing variety of containers, both purchased and improvised.
Sample plants and containers will be provided courtesy of George’s Farm Products and Greenhouse in Clinton, NY.
