If you lack garden space, have soil concerns, want tropical plants, or just enjoy the look of plants in containers on your patio, join us to learn about growing food in small spaces! We’ll dive into the range of options for container food growing, make mini container gardens to take home, and walk through the UT Kitchen Garden’s Container Display. Sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended.

This program is funded by Getting Rooted in Gardening, which is a project supported by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture, under Award Number 2023-70026-40845.
