McALLEN– Not everyone has the space to till their backyard and start a garden of their choice. Many people live in apartment complexes, where such a thing is impossible and other folks, like Winter Texans, may not have the option due to limited space at RV parks.
Container gardens are a nice alternative for those who want to show their green thumb this spring, but don’t have the cubic land space to go the more traditional route.
So, what is a container garden? It’s pretty much just what it sounds like. Instead of growing plants directly on the ground, they are planted in containers.
Some of the more popular types of container gardens include: boxed vegetable gardens or flower beds, window boxes and flowerpots.
Quinta Mazatlan officials say that container flower gardens go great on patios and are excellent at attracting an array of butterflies and birds.
Horticulturist Ouina Rutledge will present a hands-on workshop, “Create Your Own Container Garden,” on March 2 from 1p.m. To 4 p.m..
Advance registration is required, so the center can have the appropriate number of plants on hand for the workshop.
The $20 fee will cover everything that goes into the pot and guests are to bring their own containers.
Rutledge will cover topics such as combining plants, watering, maintenance, and how to correctly plant in a container.
For more information, Quinta Mazatlan may be reached at 956-681-3370.
