DIY: Spring Container Design

When you combine the hands-on creativity and artistry of floral design with the durability of cool-season plants like pansies and ornamental kale, you get beautiful custom planters for your doorstep or patio that thrive in early spring. In this demonstration, see how easy it is to design and maintain your own custom planters to fit your space.

Join us in the Greenhouse with long-time Container Design specialist Jenny Beukenhorst as she offers an introduction and fresh ideas for creating spring planters. Jenny will share her best tips and techniques for building and caring for your planters in cooler temperatures.

Learn about choosing the right potting mix, selecting cold-tolerant plant combinations, properly watering in early spring conditions, and keeping your planters looking full and vibrant. Jenny will also share tips for choosing your colors, with examples for sun or shade.

Join us for new inspiration and everything you need to know to get started with your own custom spring planter for the doorstep or patio.
