Kick those petunias to the curb and create a show-stopping container garden using native plants at this New England Wild Flower Society workshop to be held at Nasami Farm Nursery on North Street in Whately on Sunday May 7 from 10 – noon. Become familiar with the species that thrive in containers and ways to combine them. Learn about containers, soils, fertilizers, and proper container care. Bring your own container and get creative. Plants are available for purchase; potting soil is provided. Perfect timing for a Mother’s Day gift! The class will be lead by Kate Stafford and is $26 for NEWFS members, $32 for nonmembers.
