Let’s jump into the essentials of successfully growing potted plants! We’ll start by discussing how to choose the best container, considering size, material, and configuration. Next, we’ll demonstrate and explain the concept of a perched water table, helping you avoid the common issue of wet feet for your plants. Finally, we’ll guide you in selecting the best growing medium to ensure your potted plants thrive. Plus, participants will get hands-on experience potting plants using the provided materials. Bring your gardening gloves.
