Getting through Summer heat usually means both you AND your plants are tired. But you want something colorful to look at from your air-conditioned chair. Join Marylee, the desert’s potted garden expert, for this colorful workshop on container gardens for your desert home. In this jam-packed presentation, Marylee shares what you can do to perk up your pots for the next couple of months.

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
