Create Hardy Containers Workshop

This workshop demonstrates how to use evergreens, shrubs, ferns, grasses, and bulbs to create autumn and winter container displays. Following the demonstration, participants assemble their own arrangements with hands-on guidance from the instructors. Visitors can bring an empty pot or basket from home to refill or select a new container from the nursery.
