Delaware Botanic Gardens to hold container garden class Sept. 15

Delaware Botanic Gardens will offer a fall container garden workshop with designer Jan Poli at 11 a.m., Thursday, Sept. 15. The class will consist of a demo and explanations of reasoning behind selecting certain plants and colors.

Stephen Pryce Lea, DBG director of horticulture, said, “Jan Poli is one of our most experienced volunteers, with a wealth of knowledge and garden design background. Jan develops and maintains the Folly Garden throughout the seasons. Jan also designs and plants the seasonal containers throughout the gardens.”

Poli said, “Many of the plants and other media I use in the fall containers are readily available from your home garden, garden center, or even found along the roadside.”

Class fee is $10 per per person, plus the DBG admission fee of $15 for nonmembers. Admission is free for DBG members. The gardens are at 30220 Piney Neck Road, Dagsboro.
