Unleash the hidden potential of your outdoor sanctuary as we delve into the art of creating garden rooms using pots and majestic plants. In this one-of-a-kind class, join Marylee Pangman, our Desert Potted Garden Expert, as she delves into the realm of large trees, shrubs, and resilient plants that thrive in our challenging desert climate – in pots.

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
