Keep your garden glowing all summer long! Join us for an essential hands-on workshop focused on the "secret sauce" of a beautiful porch: Mastering the art of summer watering and plant care.
As the temperature rises, your plants need more than just a quick sprinkle. We will teach you the professional techniques to help your flowers and greenery withstand heat stress and produce robust growth through the hottest months of the year.
💧 What You’ll Learn:
The "Deep & Slow" Method: Why watering deeply and less frequently is the key to strong, resilient root development.
Beat the Heat: Why early morning is the "golden hour" for watering to reduce evaporation.
Smart Monitoring: How to check soil moisture like a pro and adjust your schedule based on the changing weather.
Beyond the Hose: Expert tips on occasional repotting and maintenance to ensure your flowers thrive until fall.
