The Bountiful Container: Growing a Full Garden of Vegetables, Fruits, Herbs, and Edible Flowers in Containers
Built around my best-selling book of the same name, this program introduces home gardeners to the notion of growing a bountiful vegetable garden entirely in containers. I cover all the basics: types of containers, soil, fertilizer, watering, and deciding whether to start from seeds or seedlings. I talk about finding the best new varieties developed just for containers, and then we move into the heart of the program: I plant up a small container garden of mixed plants, at least one vegetable, one herb, and one edible flower, introducing the plants and explaining the techniques as I go. We hold a drawing at the end and some lucky person in the audience takes the finished garden home. People love that.
Depending on the characteristics of the audience, I can deliver the same general information from somewhat different perspectives:
Also, depending on the nature of the space available and the preferences of the host, I can provide this workshop in these different formats:
