Take a short walk and learn about Hillwood’s kitchen garden before building your own luscious herb garden. This container garden will require a sunny location with a minimum of four to six hours of sun.

Alone, or paired with a hanging basket from the workshops on May 5 and container garden from the workshops on May 12, you’ll have blooms to savor all season.

All supplies are included. Latex gloves are available, but you are welcome to bring your own gardening gloves if you wish. These containers are low and flat on the bottom to ease transportation, but an old blanket or two in your trunk provides a way to help cradle your project during the drive home and makes for easy clean up.

Payment is required in advance due to materials fees, and is non-refundable. This program is limited to twelve people. In the unlikely event that this workshop has fewer than four people registered, it may be cancelled. If this occurs, participants may choose to participate in another session.
