It’s never to early to plan your summer pots and our instructor, Marylee Pangman wants to make it easy for you. Learn what potted plants and flowers will do best in full sun and require the least amount of care while lasting the full summer season. Whether you’re new to the desert or an experienced gardener tired of summer plant casualties, Marylee brings three decades of wisdom on creating a garden you can delight in from the comfort of your home.

Marylee’s books, “Getting Potted in the Desert,” and “Riley’s Garden Oasis” are available for purchase in the TBG Gift Shop.

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
