Container Gardening Presentation “Put it in a Pot”

Back in November I was asked to speak at the Millennium Garden Club Spring Fundraiser on March 19.  What a great way to kick off spring!  Too bad the weather wasn’t cooperating. The Millennium Garden Club is a group of garden enthusiasts in DeWitt (just north of Lansing).  This is an annual fundraiser for the group, the event is open to the public and I was glad they had a great turnout, selling over 200 tickets!  I think my presentation went well…..so well the Garden Club President had to use a hook to pull me off the stage. 🙂  Before I knew it, 1hr45min had gone by and I was still talking and I still had a number of slides to show!  It’s easy to talk about something you love!  I had a great group to present to, they asked good questions, and they did a great job with the “Plant Jeopardy” questions I asked throughout the presentation. Here are photos from the night and a few photos of containers I’ve planted that I used in my Power Point Presentation.

Thank you Rick from the garden club for sending me the photos!
