Master Gardener: Do’s and Don’ts of Container Gardening

Presented by CA Hiscock of the Dallas County Master Gardeners, learn how to choose the right container, plants, and soil to grow beautiful flowers and flavorsome herbs and vegetables. Learn which plants are good companions and some combinations that “fight” for the limelight.

CA was born in and lived in New Jersey for over forty years. It’s not called the Garden State for nothing! Everyone had gardens (and often chickens and geese) when she was growing up. Her family grew vegetables, picked fruit and planted flowers, wandered through the fields and forests from early spring to late fall. CA thought she was a good gardener until she came to Dallas and had to deal with heat, drought and black clay soils. Going through the Master Gardener program began her education on Texas gardening. CA is particularly interested in plants native to this region.
