This month's meeting features guest speaker Jackie Johnson who will do a potting demonstration. Attendees may simply observe, but for those interested in participating please bring:
- Plants: Preferred cuttings (MBBG will have some available) and filler plants such as jade. Bring three nice plants that will act as the focal point of your planter. These should be about 4 inches across and in colors and textures that go together.
- Potting Mix: Super Soil Palm and Cactus mix can be purchased at any local garden supplies store (i.e. Home Depot; International Gardens also has a good cactus mix); MBBG will have some soil available.
- Top Dressing: Small bark, colored glass, small rocks/gravel, etc.
- Tools: Small pieces of screening to cover holes in pots, plastic teaspoon, chop sticks, small paint brush 3/4 to 1 inch, and clippers.
- Container: At least 11" wide or long and 5" in height. May use a terra cotta pot or any decorative pot that has a drainage hole.
