Organic Container Gardening Workshop






Organic Container Garden with Willow

LaMonte





Sunday, February 9 from 1:00-3:00pm





 

Find out what's happening in Westchasewith free, real-time updates from Patch.





Urban gardeners can plant fresh homegrown veggies, edible

flowers, and herbs naturally and inexpensively in mobile containers.  Learn organic ways to safely grow edibles in

non-toxic planters without plastic. 

We'll cover the numerous greens (reds, purples, too) and fruiting plants

that grow beautifully during our cool and mild time of year, as well as many

herbs that adore Florida

winters.  We'll also look at ways to keep

heat-loving plants alive during frosts. 

Included: seed planting tips, organic fertilizers and soil, container

mulching (yup!), avoiding overcrowding, and preventing plant diseases and

insect infestations.  Whether you grow

vertically or horizontally, you can enjoy your portable organic garden for

years to come!
