Green Acres hosts summer pot-up workshop

Get ready to show some patriotic flair with a red, white and blue container garden – and a little help from Green Acres.

At 10 a.m. Saturday, June 22, all seven locations of Green Acres Nursery & Supply will offer a special workshop, “Create Class: Summer Pot-Up.” Fee is $60 including all plants, materials, pot and instruction.

“Join us for a fun and creative Summer Pot-Up activity,” says Green Acres. “Our experienced garden gurus will guide you in creating a unique summer pot-up. We’ll have a wide selection of plants to choose from whether you want a patriotic red, white, and blue theme or use the rest of the rainbow. We’ll help you pick complementary plants that fit your design.”

Each participant will get their choice of one “thriller” plant, six “filler” flowers and two “spillers” to drape over the pot’s edges.The container garden could serve as a July Fourth centerpiece as well as decoratation in your garden all summer long.

“You’ll receive a recipe card with inspiration to refresh the pot with seasonal favorites through fall and winter,” adds Green Acres. “Grab a friend and come dig in the dirt with us!”

Participating Green Acres include Sacramento, Auburn, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rocklin and Roseville.

Advance registration is required and space is limited to 10 participants per location. Sign up here: https://idiggreenacres.com/pages/create-class-summer-holiday-pot-up.
