About this Event
Create fall containers that look lush now and keep shining through the season. In this demo-style class, we’ll show you how to design like a pro using the thriller–filler–spiller method, pick the right pot and soil, and build color stories with rich autumn tones and bold textures. Learn how to choose plants for sun vs. shade, what to pair for longevity, and simple care tips to keep containers show-ready (watering, feeding, and quick refreshes).We’ll share ready-made recipes using the stunning plants in stock and offer swap ideas for different microclimates. You’ll leave with a planting plan, a shopping list, and the confidence to style your own containers the same day.
Attendees learn to:
- Design with proportion, color, texture, and height
- Pick the right pot, soil, and drainage
- Build sun and shade combos that last
- Care for containers through fall (fertilizer & watering rhythm)
Refresh with seasonal swaps
