This lecture explores the art and science of container gardening, with a special focus on keeping plants healthy and thriving in limited spaces. We’ll cover practical guidelines for identifying and root-pruning root-bound container plants to encourage stronger growth, better nutrient uptake, and longer plant life. The class also highlights how to select pollinator-friendly plants, such as nectar-rich flowers and native species that support bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. This class is structured for gardeners of all experience levels.
