Edibles in Containers
Saturday, July 21, 10:00-12:00 pm
Meadowbrook Farm
1633 Washington Lane, Meadowbrook, PA.
We all know that fresh home-grown vegetables are one of the greatest joys of gardening, but what about those of us who don’t have the space for the classic large vegetable patch? Contrary to conventional thinking, vegetables can be beautiful and don’t necessarily require a large space. Join the Meadowbrook Farm staff in learning how to select varieties that will enliven your containers and fit well in tight spaces. Even if the only spot you have is a windowsill or fire escape, we’ll help you make it both beautiful and delectable. $18.00 PHS members and $23.00 for nonmembers.
