All About Gardening In Containers
In this episode of the Logan Trading Company Podcast, Horticultural Professor, Bryce Lane talks to us about how to really take advantage of the benefits of “Pot-Scaping” or “Gardening In Containers”. Bryce gives us a few helpful tips on how we can be successful gardeners even when there’s limited space for plants and time for digging in the dirt. Did you know that Americans are spending between 1.5-2 billion dollars a years on containers?! WOW!!! Even our baby boomers have been taking advantage of this flexible and mobile way of gardening. They can downsize and reduce their workload while still scratching that “gardening” itch. So, whether you have a patio, deck, a walkway or even a simple porch, container gardening can be a great way to accent all of your living spaces.
Also in this episode we will hear from our very own Leslie Logan Brown. She is one of the 3rd Generation owners of LOGANS and she will be giving us some fun facts on how we as a community can:
GROW WELL- with products that will benefit your gardens and landscapes.
GIVE WELL – by participating in our Plant A Row For The Hungry Program.
