@ Register Here $36 Non-Member / $29 Member Whether you’re new to desert gardening, returning for the winter season, or still trying to solve problems with your pots, this class will help you plan and plant winter containers with more confidence.Marylee will cover the basics: pot size, placement, soil, watering, drainage, and familiar winter flowers. You’ll leave with practical ideas for creating colorful winter pots that fit your space, your sun conditions, and the amount of care you want to give them. Instructor Marylee Pangman Marylee Pangman founded The Contained Gardener in 1998 as a niche business in the desert community of Tucson, Arizona. Since then, Marylee has been compelled to share all that she has learned about container gardening over 3 decades of blistering summers and record breaking winters. Marylee sees container gardening as a way to have an oasis garden while conserving water as the demands of pots are far less than heavily planted areas and beds. You can find Marylee’s books, Getting Potted in the Desert, and Riley’s Garden Oasis at the Garden Gift Shop. These two books are excellent resources for creating and caring for potted gardens, advice on container selection, plant lists and much more. https://thepotteddesert.com Refund & Cancellation Policy No refund will be issued less than 15 days prior to any Community Class.
