Cool Season Planter Workshop

Register

Join us in person at Garfield Park Conservatory to learn about spring crops that grow well in containers and leave with one 12-inch wide by 11-inch tall plastic pot that you planted with a mix of herb, veggie and edible flower seedlings + seeds!

This workshop includes:

• An overview of best practices for springtime small-scale container gardening .

• Time and materials for each participant to plant their own 12-inch wide by 11-inch tall planter with a mix of edible flower, herb and veggie seedlings suitable for mid spring’s cool weather.

During this workshop, Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance Programs Staff will guide participants step by step as they design and plant their own cool season planters. Care recommendations will be provided.
