This make and take hands on workshop is all about creating the most stunning patio pots on the block this Summer. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or new to the world of plants, you'll learn how to create a beautiful display that will knock the socks off your neighbors.

Next, we'll cover the basics of container gardening, including how to properly prepare your pots, how to choose the right soil and fertilizer, and how to maintain your plants throughout the season. You'll also learn how to create different levels of interest in your pot, using both tall and short plants/elements. Finally, we'll discuss the best ways to add finishing touches to your patio pot, such as adding non-plant accents for a touch of magic.
