Create Your Own Container Pot For SUN

It’s time to get your garden ready for warmer weather and SUNSHINE! Join the Garden's Executive Director, Matthew Ross, as he leads you through a fun and informative session to kick off your annual displays and create your own SUNNY container design.

Start the class off exploring a wide range of range of container design examples from across the globe through a brief but inspiring presentation, then head out to the pavilion for some hands-on fun. Use a combination of annual and perennial plants to make your own unique container design to take home with you to enjoy!

Bring in your own container (or pair!) with an opening 18” or less and a depth of 24” or less and we'll provide the rest. Sun-loving plants, potting soil, a care sheet, and fertilizer will all be provided to fill your favorite container(s).
