Learn how to create vibrant, colorful containers for the colder months. The session will start with the basic guidelines for growing almost anything in containers, and how to keep them healthy. The focus then turns to design – the impact of the container, color theory, balance and other important principles. Several examples of winter containers including holiday combinations are shown. A list of shrubs, perennials and annuals for winter containers appropriate for our area will end the presentation.
