Containers can be placed on decks, patios, spaces by the pool, under the roof eaves, next to the driveway, even right next to a flower border where blossoms may have passed their peak and some colorful distraction would be welcome. But the flexibility and portability of light weight planters made just for the growing season are the best place to start if you are planting containers for the first time. Ken will also be mentioning his new book, Making More Plants, and touching on ways to grow and carry over some of the annuals and tender perennials from your containers for next year's plantings. The Plant Doctor Scott D. Appell, the Director of Education for the Horticultural Society of New York, will be joined by his associates and experts from the Horticultural Society to answer visitors' questions on sick plants. Bring a sizeable sample from a sick plant to represent the problem and the doctors will be able to give you expert advice.
Patrons can also receive advice on selecting the best plant material for rooftops and terraces.
Scott will expertly lead gardeners to those plants that hold up and flourish in windy high locations. As well as acting as the Director of Education for the Horticultural Society of New York, Scott is also a member of the Publications Committee of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. He lectures widely in the Tri-State area on a variety of horticultural topics.
