About this Event

This lecture is for those who have countless cell packs, 4-inchers, long ago divided perennials, starts that never got planted, and miscellaneous annuals you couldn’t say no to at the garden centre sale. Join Jess Conley, TBG Horticulturist, as she maps out strategies you can utilize on your ever-growing collection of pots and plants.

Learn how to visually streamline your mess of pots into a cohesive, well considered statement piece and turn it into its latest metamorphosis, a must-see feature of your garden.

Apply the lecture’s ideology to your plant hoard and have your new pot garden shine! Most important of all, have your pot garden function as a cohesive whole!

Wednesday, May 13 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Public $20, TBG Members $15 (plus applicable taxes and fees).

About Jess Conley

Jess Conley is a botanic jack-of-all-trades. She’s been a tree planter, a florist, an urban farmer, and an estate gardener. She studied Landscape Design, but she found her joy in tending life. One of her specialties, amongst many, is edible flowers. However, her palate is not limited to just flowers, she can often be found on the grounds sampling horticultural treasures such as maple samaras and paw-paw fruit.
