Hourly Schedule
We are excited to kick off the 2023 spring tour season with a Spillers, Fillers, and Thrillers: Sun and Shade Container Design Demo Lunch & Learn Tour. Whether you’re working with limited space or just looking for more versatility in your gardening, containers are a great option. Container gardens provide a statement of seasonal color and allow you to add more variety to your garden in spite of space limitations. The thriller-filler-spiller design concept is my favorite for containers. The design makes such a big impact and takes a lot of the guesswork out of planning a container planting.
