Monday, March 10, 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm Eastern – The Rewards of Container Gardening, Online
Karl Gercens, Longwood Gardens’ conservatory manager, explores the exciting possibilities of container garden design and display in this Smithsonian Associates Zoom lecture on March 10. He surveys the wide range of available container materials, including metal, wood, ceramics, and terracotta, and discusses the importance of carefully selecting the plantings that go into them.
He provides advice on plants that thrive in conditions of sun, shade, and wind (and even in the presence of animals), as well as tips on watering, fertilization, and pest and disease control. Photos of displays at Longwood Gardens offer inspiration for creating your own container garden. $25 for Smithsonian Associates members, $30 for nonmembers.
