A brand new class from Marylee Pangman, our Desert Potted Garden Expert. Learn to create Eye-Popping Cactus Displays. Marylee will share tips and techniques to create succulent gardens of all shapes and sizes for inside and out. Discover her favorite succulents (and cactus) for pots and how to plant and care for them. In this 90-minute virtual class, Marylee will also discuss colorizing your garden to fit in a desert landscape or add high-color focal points.

Marylee’s books, “Getting Potted in the Desert,” and “Riley’s Garden Oasis” are available for purchase in the TBG Gift Shop.

Instructor

Marylee Pangman founded The Contained Gardener in 1998 as a niche business in the desert community of Tucson, Arizona.  

Since then, Marylee has been compelled to share all that she has learned about container gardening over 3 decades of blistering summers and record breaking winters. Marylee sees container gardening as a way to have an oasis garden while conserving water as the demands of pots are far less than heavily planted areas and beds. You can find Marylee’s books, Getting Potted in the Desert, and Riley’s Garden Oasis at the Garden Gift Shop. These two books are excellent resources for creating and caring for potted gardens, advice on container selection, plant lists and much more. https://thepotteddesert.com
