Join UMaine Extension Horticulture staff, Pamela Hargest and Abi Griffith, for a hands-on workshop on growing vegetables, herbs, and flowers in containers. Learn how to plant and care for a thriving container garden throughout the growing season.
In this interactive class, you’ll explore which potting mixes work best for containers, how to choose varieties that thrive in small spaces, and how to plant and maintain them over time. Participants will plant one container to take home. Fabric pots, potting mix, and seeds will be provided, and you’re welcome to bring your own container if you prefer (containers must be less than 5 gallons).
This workshop is ideal for anyone with limited growing space, including those living in apartments or urban settings. It will take place at the UMaine Gardens at Tidewater Farm, 200 Presumpscot Point Rd, Falmouth, ME 04105.
Registration is required and the program fee is $20 per person. This program is limited to 15 participants.
