Container Planting Workshop

Sailer’s Greenhouse Container Planting Workshop is back! You plant it, we grow it! We will have designated days throughout the month of March for you to drop in at your own convenience and plant your spring containers. Seriously, what’s more fun than planting spring pots while there is still frost in the air and snow on the ground!??! We have thousands of plants to choose from. Get your hands on the newest and hottest varieties for spring before they sell out.  

Sailer’s Greenhouse planting staff will be on hand to help you design and plant your own hanging basket or patio container. We will share our secrets on how we grow the most beautiful baskets around. We’ll supply the warm greenhouse, pots, fresh dirt and thousands of starter plants to get your garden project growing. In four easy steps you'll have the best containers you've ever had. Get a jump on spring and see your plants grow from start to finish. 

Step 1: Choose a 14” & 16” hanging basket or patio container. 

Step 2: Choose the right combination. Sun or shade, tall or short... there are plants that fit any situation. Come up with your own combination or find inspiration from our giant book of fool-proof recipes. Either way we have all the tools you need to design the perfect container.

Step 3: Get your hands dirty. The planting pros at Sailer’s Greenhouse will teach you how to grow beautiful baskets and offer helpful hints on how to keep them lush all summer long. 

Step 4: Your done…well almost, at least for a couple of weeks. We’ll do the hard part of nurturing those little guys into big guys. You just have to come pick up your container before Mothers Day.  (hint.hint. talk about a great Mother’s Day gift) 

Make sure you take a Before & After picture of your containers.

Please register for the workshop. You can drop in anytime from 10am- 4pm. Or, you may arrange a time that works for you.

$64.99 for a 14"

Registration:

Please register for the day you wish to attend so we can prepare supplies. 

Few Other Things: PLEASE READ

You will be required to pay for your container the day of the class.

Please DO NOT bring in your own pot. We will supply the pots and inserts that will fit snuggly in pots you already have. We are happy to accommodate various size containers. Custom sizes will be available by request. We cannot have personal pots growing in the greenhouse due to outside plant diseases and space requirements.

We will be following Covid guidelines by limiting the amount of people in the workspace at a time. We ask that everyone wear a mask and social distant themselves from others. We will have clean workstations every six feet for people to work at.
