Plants for Small Spaces

This free seminar will increase your knowledge of working with plants in
containers. It is an ideal learning experience for anyone wanting to know more
about growing flowers or vegetables on a patio, an apartment balcony or in
other locations.

Creating a Container Garden presentation covers type of containers, soil,
fertilizer, and watering. Watch a Master Gardener construct the container and
discuss use of color and texture.

Ideal Plants for the Patio talk offers education on plant selection. Which
plants grow well in containers? What about sun or shade requirements?

Gardening in a Grow Box will be a new idea for many. It is intense
gardening, vegetables or flowers, in a plastic storage box! No weeding, high yields,
infrequent watering are some of the benefits of this concept.

Bring samples of diseased, bug eaten, sick plants to the Plant Clinic.
Experts will diagnose the problem and offer possible remedies.

The seminar is sponsored by the Travis County Master Gardener Association in
partnership with the AgriLife Extension, Travis County. For more
information call 512-854-9600 and ask for the Master Gardener’s desk.
