CCC Class at Willow Bend 2008 - Stacking Herb Pots
On May 8th, 2010, my annual spring Container Gardening Class for CCC will be held. This year the classroom will be at Northland Hospice offices (452 N. Switzer Canyon Drive) and for the last part of the class we will be planting containers at the Olivia White Hospice Home (752 N. Switzer Canyon Drive). The pots and baskets will grace the gardens that all residents, families, and staff enjoy throughout the summer. The class is from 9am-12pm, and will include a variety of ideas for successful container gardening in Flagstaff:
