Plant a Planter -Thrillers & Spillers & Killers
presented by Mary Lyons and Janet Spaulding
Please bring to the meeting a planter that will hold 3 or more plants. We will supply the potting soil. If it is a very large container, fill the bottom with empty plastic bottles or items, so the planter will not be too heavy to take home!! The club will also supply 3 plants to each person, and then you may add more if you wish that you can purchase. We hope to have 3 types: a thriller(tall), a spiller(drape), and a filler(a bright focal point). Bring gloves!
