Beginning Container Gardening Workshop

Are you curious about growing your own vegetables, but don’t have a large garden? Container gardening is the perfect way to get started! Whether you live in an apartment, have limited space, or simply want to try something new, this workshop will show you how easy and rewarding it can be to grow food in pots, buckets, and grow bags.

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn:

• The best types of containers to use (grow bags, buckets, garden towers, and more)
• How to create a simple, healthy soil mix for thriving plants
• Which vegetables and herbs grow best in containers in Hawaii
• Tips for watering, fertilizing, and keeping pests away
• Common beginner mistakes to avoid

We’ll also do a live planting demo, and you’ll get practical tips that you can use right away to start your own container garden at home. Participants will receive a one gallon container garden and other plants/seeds to take home to continue their container gardening.
