January 9th at 1:00 PM at the VCA Offices
Join us on January 9th at the VCA Office when Karen Maxwell of Edison Ford Winter Estates will provide insight into designing a lovely work of art with plants, and the particular requirements for an in-home planter or an outdoor showstopper. We will look at the benefits of different types of planters, choosing compatible plant material and highlighting your design with color and texture. Karen is the Horticulture Programs Coordinator and a horticulture specialist with Edison Ford since 2008. She designs many of the large planters on the Edison Ford campus as well as the Moonlight Garden.
This is the perfect seminar for you if you have a small area or don’t have the capacity to grow a large garden. Gardening in containers can be just as rewarding as having a full-size garden. Many plants grow in pots just as well as they do in the ground.
There are a few things to consider when planning for a successful container garden. The first is the plants. If you are planting more than one plant in the same pot, be sure that all your plants meet the same requirements. Other requirements to consider are amount of light, amount of water, and fertilizer scheduling. Also be sure that the size of the container matches the size of your plant. Some other things you might consider when planning your container garden are height, color, and texture.
