About the Event

Transform any space—from a tiny balcony to a spacious patio—into a lush, productive oasis! This one-hour talk with UC Master Gardener Bernie Day will equip you with the basic information you need to become a successful container gardener. We'll dive into the best plants that truly thrive outside the ground, from vibrant flowers to delicious vegetables and herbs. You'll learn the pros and cons of different container materials (terra cotta, plastic, fabric, and more), mastering essential topics like watering, soil selection, and simple plant care. Finally, we’ll cover practical design tips to create stunning, multi-layered arrangements that maximize your small space and bring year-round beauty to your home.
