I’m so excited to have my little container garden included in the first “Share Your Wake Forest Garden” tour!

Tonya,
Hi. What have you planted in your container? My daughter wants a garden, so I’ve decided to do some container gardening as well. We’re both so excited! I plan to go to a nursery tomorrow and purchase the goods. Just wandering what works well in containers.
Hi Qiana – I planted tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, strawberries and lettuce. These work well for me in containers. Be sure to choose healthy looking bedding plants in moist soil. Good luck!!
