Growing vegetables and herbs in containers is a great option if you don’t have much outdoor space, a shady yard but a sunny deck or maybe need to keep plants in a space that's more protected from critters. Whatever your reason, this class will teach you how to set your edible container garden up for success by choosing the right containers, soil and plant varieties and then maintaining it through the growing season. You'll leave with a simple 4-gallon container and a hanging basket container to fill at home, plus a great list of tried-and-true vegetables and herbs to start with!
