Container Gardening with Native Plants

Elaine Mills, Virginia Cooperative Extension Master Gardener

Gardeners with planting space limited to patios, decks, or balconies can still create miniature habitats for pollinators and birds by incorporating native plants. Join us to learn which plant species are suitable for use in containers while providing the best wildlife support. She offers tips on containers, soil, and plant maintenance and illustrates a wide variety of attractive plant combinations, using ferns, grasses, sedges, perennials, and even small shrubs.
