Growing Veggies in Containers: April 4 Program

Eggplant growing in a container
Container gardening can be a wonderful way to enhance the versatility of our gardens’ available spaces. Whether we do all of our gardening in containers, or use them to make use of impervious surfaces like asphalt and decks, containers allow us diversity in planting times and maximize our micro-climates.

Please join the Cottage Grove Garden Club on Tuesday, April 4 as we learn about gardening in containers from our own Andrea Mull. Andrea will focus on growing vegetables in containers, but will broaden her talk to include general growing information. She’ll also talk about planting combinations that work well together and the secrets to container soil mixes.

Andrea has been living and gardening in the Cottage Grove area for over 15 years  and has worked for Territorial Seed Company for 5 seasons, assisting in Vegetable Trials/Research and Customer Relations. She is especially passionate for unusual vegetables, ornamentals, and flowers. If you’ve heard Andrea talk before, you know she is full of hands-on practical information. You are sure to leave with ideas for creating your own outstanding containers.

 Cottage Grove Garden Club meets at the First Presbyterian Church, 216 South 3rd Street (the corner of 3rd and Adams), Cottage Grove, Oregon.  Our information business meeting begins at 6pm, Andrea’s presentation begins at 7pm after we enjoy light refreshments. All visitors and guests welcome.
