Join Us for Our Hands on Trough Gardening Class!
Saturday October 17th, 2009 at 10 am
This is your chance to create a unique container for unusual and small plants that might be lost in the landscape. Luann Finke & Cindy Humann will lead a hands-on workshop to construct a 16-inch round trough. Gloves will be provided; outdoor work clothes are recommended. Pre-registration is required along with a fee of $25, which includes materials to make one container.
Troughs are constructed of a light, porous material, mixing Portland cement, peat moss, perlite and water, and resemble stone. Each trough container is unique; when filled with a combination of small plants, the trough is a beautiful alpine or rock garden in miniature to use on your patio or deck. Trough gardens are particularly great for growing the vast array of succulents now available at Finke Gardens. In this class you will learn the technique so you can spend your winter months creating great containers for spring planting projects.
Trough gardens have been incorporated into a patio setting, making a perfect environment for growing rock garden plants. Learn the basics of trough garden production and spend your winter developing your own.
