May 20 Container Workshop – win a ticket!
Sunday, May 20, two sessions (9:30-12 noon, and 1:30-4 PM); at Margaret Roach’s garden (Copake Falls, New York-about an hour from Albany, two from New York City metro area and two and a half hours from Boston).

$45 (includes liquid refreshments and a snack). Registration and class details.

WE CALL IT ‘CONTAINED EXUBERANCE,’ the container-garden workshop that Margaret Roach and I do in May of each year at her garden in the Hudson Valley of New York. You can buy a ticket for one of the two sessions on Sunday, May 20 – or enter to win one ($45 value).  These workshops always sell out …. so hurry.

We’ll cover potting soils, annuals, perennials and even trees and shrubs in outdoor pots, overwintering tactics + the design and staging of pots in the garden.  The workshop includes a garden walk-through at Margaret’s acclaimed garden + plants for sale from Landcraft Environments.

How to Enter the Ticket Drawing – WIN ONE OF TWO TICKETS we’re holding from sale by simply commenting at Margaret’s blog awaytogarden.com and telling us one thing you’re planning to put in pots at your place this year. Note: If you want to guarantee a spot at the workshop, go ahead and purchase a ticket and we’ll refund your cost after the drawing, which will be held after entries close at midnight Friday, May 4. Winners will be chosen at random, using the tool from random (dot) org.
