Citrus Trees in Pots

Posted on | February 8, 2010 | No Comments

If you read my blog often, you’ll know I’m a big fan of Marylee Pangman. Personally, I refer to her as Tucson’s Pot Lady because she knows all about gardening in pots. What’s even better is that she shares her information frequently in a variety of workshops. The February “Get Potted” workshop covers the subject of growing citrus in pots. You can learn which citrus plants work well in pots, what size pot you’ll need, and how to care for your citrus plants. She’s good, so sign up  and go if you can.

Each session will conclude with a 10-minute presentation on how to correctly plant up a potted garden.

The workshop is free, but you do need to register because class size is limited to 18. Call (520) 733-3359 or shoot an email to The Contained Gardener. I’m giving you lots of time to sign up, but you’d best get on it. Read more
