About the event
There’s nothing like a beautifully planted container to welcome guests, brighten a patio, or transform an outdoor space. Join us for a master class focused on the beauty and versatility of annuals — and how to use them to create lush, dynamic container gardens that thrive all season long.
In this in-depth and inspiring session, we’ll explore both the art and science of container design. You’ll learn how to thoughtfully combine color, texture, and structure for maximum impact, while also understanding the practical foundations that keep your pots flourishing.
Topics will include:
Selecting the right annuals for sun and shade
The “thriller, filler, spiller” design principle
Soil selection and fertilization for strong performance
