Who needs a yard? Container gardening makes growing edibles an option for
everyone

Container gardening allows you to enjoy vegetables and herbs in areas where
a traditional garden is awkward or impossible. Even with limited space in an
urban apartment, you can grow fruits, vegetables and herbs just about
anywhere.

Join Master Gardener Irene Reed for her ever-popular talk about the ins and
outs of container gardening, then make a container garden of your own to
take home! Container, TAGRO Potting Soil and vegetable starts will be
provided … just bring your curiosity.

11 a.m. Saturday, April 18, Moore Library, 215 S. 56th St.

3 p.m. Saturday, April 18, Fern Hill Library, 765 S 84th St.

This workshop is sponsored by the City of Tacoma’s TAGRO Soil Products and
GrowLocalTacoma.com in cooperation with the Tacoma Public Library’s Tacoma
Reads Together program. This year’s Tacoma Reads book is Barbara
Kingsolver’s critically acclaimed “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of
Food Life,” which makes a passionate case for putting the kitchen back at
the center of family life and diversified farms at the center of the
American diet.
