Spring Container Gardening
Create a beautiful spring container garden to take home in this hands-on workshop with Gardens’ Horticulturist Terry Phillips. You will learn about standout plants for spring containers and simple care tips, then design your own planter using the classic “filler, thriller, spiller” approach. Please bring your garden gloves! $35 supply fee included.
Instructor: Terry Phillips
Terry Phillips serves as the new horticulturist for Kaul Wildflower Garden. He jokes that before he began studying ecology and working at various nurseries around Birmingham, he could probably identify only poison ivy, thanks to his Boy Scout training. He has since worked at Andy’s Creekside Nursery, Shoppe, and Leaf & Petal. These experiences transformed his “plant-blindness” by helping him become knowledgeable and appreciative of plants. “Native flora and ecology are something I care deeply about, and getting to work in the Kaul Wildflower Garden is definitely a dream job!” he said.
