Prepping Soil for a Productive Garden

In the Garden Success Series, our Garden experts walk you through some basics of home gardening and share their favorite tools and strategies for growing and keeping yours looking its best.

This month, horticulturist Phillip Jennings will explain why great soil is the foundation of a successful and productive garden, and share tips for ensuring you have the best soil for the growing season ahead.

SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY

Following the Garden Success class, attendees are invited to participate in the Garden-to-Go program, where they fill a pot — either one they bring with them from home, or one available for purchase from the Garden — with warm weather seasonal color selected from among hundreds of extra baby plants looking for a new home.

To participate in Garden-to-Go, choose it as an “add-on” during the online checkout process. For those who bring their own pot, the add-on is just $5. For those who need to purchase a pot from the Garden, the add-on is $10.
