Flex your green thumb this summer by creating a small, wildlife-friendly oasis for your patio, balcony, or porch using locally-adapted native plants. Duncan will present the basics of planting and maintaining a container garden, from container selection and potting mixes to fertilization and watering requirements. He will also create a small container garden that a lucky member of the class will take home with them!
