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. Weโ€™ll look at common mistakes that cause herbs to struggle and how to set them up to thrive through the season.

Youโ€™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 youโ€™ll actually use.


What weโ€™ll cover

  • Choosing containers that support healthy herb growth
  • 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 youโ€™ll leave with

  • A planted container of summer herbs
  • Care guidance for your specific plants
  • Confidence in setting up future herb containers
