Not sure you have enough space for a garden? You don’t need a yard to grow your own food! Get creative with container gardening and you can grow greens, herbs, blueberries, and even hot peppers. Container gardening is great for beginners, apartment dwellers and anyone with challenging soil.

In this class you will learn about:

  • Benefits of growing in containers
  • Choosing soil, containers and location for your container garden
  • Considerations for growing herbs, greens, small fruits and summer vegetables
  • Ongoing maintenance of your container garden

This online class will help you understand the basics of growing food crops in containers, including time for Q & A with the instructor. The class will be recorded and the recording will be available for a limited time period.
