Not everyone can manage huge pots in the desert — and that’s the point of this class. Discover how to create beautiful, resilient small-scale container gardens in limited space. Marylee teaches you how to match plants to petite pots, optimize soil depth, manage heat stress, and create lush designs on balconies, patios, and small courtyards. Perfect for beginners, apartment dwellers, or anyone seeking manageable gardening without sacrificing beauty.
Instructor
Marylee Pangman
Marylee Pangman founded The Contained Gardener in 1998 as a niche business in the desert community of Tucson, Arizona.
Since then, Marylee has been compelled to share all that she has learned about container gardening over 3 decades of blistering summers and record breaking winters. Marylee sees container gardening as a way to have an oasis garden while conserving water as the demands of pots are far less than heavily planted areas and beds. You can find Marylee’s books, Getting Potted in the Desert, and Riley’s Garden Oasis at the Garden Gift Shop. These two books are excellent resources for creating and caring for potted gardens, advice on container selection, plant lists and much more. https://thepotteddesert.com
