Event is Full- Beginner Container Gardening 101

Thank you for all of the interests for this event- it is now full. We will do another Container Gardening workshop in March!!!

## 🌱 Beginner Container Gardening 101

### Decorate • Plant • Grow Your Own Greens

Have you ever wanted to grow your own food but felt unsure where to start?
This beginner-friendly workshop is designed to help you learn container gardening from the ground up, decorate a container that feels personal, and plant your own vegetables from seed — no gardening experience required.

This event is the foundation of our ongoing Container Gardening Series, where each workshop helps you build skills and add to your own personal container garden over time.

### 🌿 What You’ll Learn

• What container gardening is (and why it’s perfect for beginners)
• Choosing the right container and why drainage matters
• Soil basics: what works and what doesn’t
• Sun placement in Texas (morning vs afternoon sun)
• Watering seeds vs established plants
• What grows well in late winter and early spring

### 🎨 What We’ll Do Together

• Decorate a wide, shallow container to make it your own
• Learn how to properly plant seeds
• Plant lettuce, spinach, and green onions
• Label your container and learn how to care for it at home

You’ll leave with a planted container and the confidence to keep it growing.

### 🥬 What to Expect After You Plant

We’ll walk through this during the workshop so you know exactly what’s normal:

• Sprouts:
• Lettuce: 5–10 days
• Green onions: 7–10 days
• Spinach: 7–14 days
• Harvest timeline:
• Green onions: 3–4 weeks
• Lettuce: 4–6 weeks
• Spinach: 5–7 weeks

You’ll also learn how to harvest so your plants continue producing — and what to do once you’ve harvested your greens.
