About the Event
Join the authors of Low-Maintenance Eco Gardens for a lively, practical class on creating beautiful container gardens that thrive with less fuss.
In this one-hour class, you will see three easy-to-copy planted containers come together, each with a specific focus:
Deer-resistant tea and culinary herbs
Shade-friendly herbs
Full-sun vegetables and herbs
Along the way, we’ll use the book’s Plant Matchmaker sheet to share simple design tips, choose plants that truly earn their keep, and cover care strategies for busy people who want a garden without the guilt.
