Container Gardening is the practice of growing plants in containers instead of in the ground. Learn to design and care for a container garden, feel more confident in designing, starting, and maintaining a container garden, and be ready to plant your own beautiful container garden.

Create a Kokedama - a plant growing in a ball of soil encased in moss secured by twine, strong, or wire, that can be hung in a window or places on a tray or dish. This Japanese term "Koke" meaning moss, and "dama" meaning ball is in the Bonsai tradition of creating artistic forms with plants.Please bring a plant - 4" pot or smaller - ivy, pothos, spider plant, fern, or staghorn fern recommended.
