Workshop overview
This hands-on gardening workshop focuses on growing summer herbs successfully in containers, with an emphasis on healthy roots, appropriate spacing, and long-term care. We’ll look at common mistakes that cause herbs to struggle and how to set them up to thrive through the season.
You’ll learn how different herbs grow, how to choose containers that support them, and how to harvest in ways that encourage continued growth rather than stress.
This workshop is practical, beginner-friendly, and designed to help you grow herbs you’ll actually use.
What we’ll cover

- Soil and drainage needs for common summer herbs
- Differences between perennial and annual herbs
- How to plant and space herbs for longevity
- How and when to harvest without weakening plants
What you’ll leave with
- A planted container of summer herbs
- Care guidance for your specific plants
- Confidence in setting up future herb containers
