Container Gardening & Raised Beds Class

Learn why growing in containers and/or raised beds is NOT the same as in-ground gardening and how understanding these intrinsic differences dramatically increases success. Key topics include selecting and building appropriate containers or raised beds (materials, sizes, drainage, DIY options); choosing optimal locations for sunlight, accessibility, and convenience; preparing specialized soil mixes (potting vs. garden blends, organic amendments, and nutrient management tailored to elevated systems); strategic plant selection, spacing, and intensive planting for high yields in limited spaces; efficient watering, fertilization, maintenance, and other unique challenges.
