Description

Shelley Ferguson of Project Grow will use container gardening as a way to highlight basic gardening principles. Whether you are brand new to gardening or just want to up your container game, this session will walk you through the fundamentals — healthy soil, room for roots, and keeping care requirements in mind. Have a specific garden or plant-related question? There will be time to jot down your questions to submit to Ferguson directly before the talk so that she can touch on the problems and queries that pique the audience's interest.
