Planting Trees in Pots

Trees definitely have a place in your pots. Learn the in’s and out’s of choosing and planting trees in containers. In this class Marylee Pangman, our Desert Potted Garden Expert will cover plant selection, function and styling of potted trees, installation, care and long-term life in pots. Additionally, learn when to add color under the tree’s canopy with additional flowers and trailing plants.

Marylee’s books, “Getting Potted in the Desert,” and “Riley’s Garden Oasis” are available for purchase in the TBG Gift Shop or can be shipped to your home by calling Christine at 520-326-9686.  All classes are recorded, and you will receive the video and slides a few days after the class takes place.

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 20 years 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 book, Getting Potted in the Desert, at the Garden Gift Shop. This excellent resource includes a month-by-month planning guide, ideas for creating and caring for potted gardens, advice on container selection, and much more. https://thepotteddesert.com
