- **Event Name**: Container Gardening at Mt. Pleasant Library
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 24 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Learn how to garden using containers in this presentation taught by URI Master Gardeners! 

This presentation introduces the principles and practical techniques of container gardening for a wide range of environments, including patios, balconies, small yards, and urban settings. We will explain how containers influence plant health by affecting root growth, moisture retention, drainage, and temperature, and outline how to select appropriate containers based on material, size, and intended plant type. The presentation covers soil composition and why standard garden soil is unsuitable for containers, with attention to drainage, aeration, and nutrient availability. It also addresses light requirements, watering strategies, fertilization schedules, and seasonal considerations, including how container gardens respond differently to heat, cold, and wind than in-ground plantings. Common challenges such as overwatering, nutrient depletion, and root binding are discussed, along with evidence-based methods to prevent or correct them. 

The session concludes with guidance on plant selection for containers, including vegetables, herbs, and ornamentals, and explains how to plan and maintain a container garden over time using repeatable, practical techniques.
