No yard, no problem!

Many native plants thrive in outdoor planters, where they can still provide food for birds and pollinators. In this hands-on workshop, we will put together a container garden with three native plants, which can live on a porch, a balcony, or in your yard.

Included in the cost of the program are:

Your choice of planter/bring your own planter (see below)

Growing media to fill planter
Your choice of 3 native plants (in 4" pots)
Guidance/materials on plant selection and maintenance

Choose your planter (photos below): Wooden whiskey barrel planter, black fabric planter (can stand alone or be placed inside a larger decorative planter), or bring your own. If you bring your own planter, we recommend one with a minimum diameter of 15" and with drainage holes.

If you are planning to use a ceramic pot, choose a high-quality glazed pot with a wide opening and tapered base. This gives water space to expand when frozen and reduces the risk of your pot cracking over the winter. Terra cotta pots are particularly susceptible to cracking.
