Contained plantings offer the opportunity to introduce focal points of foliage and flowers where there is no ground space, and are particularly useful around a pool, on a terrace or flanking an entranceway.

Led by designer Robert Clyde Anderson.

Instructor Robert Clyde Anderson provides a lively, enjoyably opinionated and informative illustrated talk based on his years of experience as a designer and in the retail gardening business.
