Cooler weather brings a fresh season of color to Arizona gardens! Join Katie as she demonstrates how to combine some of our favorite cool-season flowers to create beautiful winter containers. She’ll pot up several different combinations using favorites like petunias, cyclamen, pansies, violas, calibrachoa, alyssum, lobelia, paperwhites, snapdragons and more, while sharing ideas for combining color, texture, height and trailing plants.

Come gather inspiration and helpful tips for creating your own winter containers for patios, entryways and other outdoor spaces.

About our instructor: "My name is Justin Kasica, and I’ve been immersed in gardening since childhood, first in Michigan and now in Phoenix, Arizona where I’ve been growing plants since 2010. I focus on edible plants and flowers, using a mix of in-ground rows, raised beds, container gardening, personal orchard management, and over a decade of hydroponic experience. My approach blends hands-on techniques with a strong foundation in plant and soil science to push my garden to its full potential. For me, gardening isn’t just a hobby it’s an ongoing experiment in growth and productivity."

The Phoenix Bonsai Society will be having their Spring Styling Workshop at Summer Winds Nursery in Phoenix from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. AZ Time – for Members of Phoenix Bonsai Society Only.
