Organic Container Garden with Willow LaMonte
Sunday, January 4 from 1:00-3:00pm
Urban gardeners can plant fresh homegrown veggies, edible flowers, and herbs naturally and inexpensively in mobile containers. Learn organic ways to safely grow edibles in non-toxic planters without plastic. We’ll cover the numerous greens (reds, purples, too) and fruiting plants that grow beautifully during our cool and mild time of year, as well as many herbs that adore Florida winters. We’ll also look at ways to keep heat-loving plants alive during frosts. Included: seed planting tips, organic fertilizers and soil, container mulching (yup!), avoiding overcrowding, and preventing plant diseases and insect infestations. Whether you grow vertically or horizontally, you can enjoy your portable organic garden for years to come!
Willow LaMonte of Willow Herbal Delight Gardens will be leading this informative workshop. She is a folk herbalist, wildcrafter, and long-time gardener. In addition, Willow is a member of the American Herbalist Guild, the Florida Herb Society, and United Plant Savers.
