If you’ve ever had planter envy, seeing a gorgeous mixed annual planter and wishing you knew how to recreate that mix in your own garden or patio planter, this talk’s for you. Heidi will walk through the three key components of a mixed planter, discuss some combo mechanics, and will then take you on a tour of color to give you ideas on how to create a mood or message in your planters using color.

Instructor Heidi Doering is a horticulturist and willow grower/artist. She grows annuals and perennials for a twin cities wholesale greenhouse. Travel to numerous independent and university trials during summer months gives her a plethora of ‘color’ experiences to share with upper Midwest gardeners during the short days of winter when all of us are feeling a bit color-starved.
