CONTAINER GARDENING

Recorded on August 12, 2020

Odds are if you live in an urban place, such as Boston, you might not have access to a huge plot of land to plant your dream garden. Here’s where you can get really creative with your gardening approach! Container gardening is the practice of growing plants exclusively in containers instead of planting them in the ground. Joey of Mahoney’s Brighton will walk you through what you’ll need to get started on your very own container garden, perfect for apartments and urban spaces!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED: some herbs / veggies / annuals to plant, a large container, all-purpose potting soil
