DIY Landscape Center FREEBIES

Close up of ‘Phan­tom’ Petu­nia– black with a limey-yellow star. One of the deep­est blacks I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable!

On Sat­ur­day, April 30th, 2011 the DIY Land­scape Cen­ter will be cel­e­brat­ing their Grand Open­ing by host­ing a ‘pot party’.  Okay, they told me not to call it that but the name is sort of funny! If you bring your pots/containers, they will fill them with soil FREE!  Who doesn’t love free?

West Jor­dan, Utah 

9:00 am– Noon

 In addi­tion, my busi­ness, Design Resource, will be there to help you get a ‘designer look’ for your con­tain­ers as a free ser­vice.  Holly, a con­tainer gar­den EXPERT, will teach atten­dees how to KEEP those con­tain­ers look­ing fab­u­lous all sea­son long.

Some of my tem­po­rary charges includ­ing ‘Fire­works’ pink foun­tain grass and ‘Jester’ Orna­men­tal Millet

You can bring your own plants, plant your con­tainer at home later or, if you arrive early enough, buy some stun­ning con­tainer annu­als which were hand-selected.  H0wever, there is no oblig­a­tion to buy any­thing.  Hav­ing no idea how many peo­ple would be attend­ing, I esti­mated the best I could and we’ll hope it comes out right! If there are too many plants, well, I guess my own yard will be beyond fab­u­lous (and expen­sive) this sea­son!  I care­fully selected the ‘unusu­als’ that most peo­ple wouldn’t think to buy or know how to use.  So go with some of the fab­u­lous plants as the focal points and fill in any left­over space with the less-fancy annu­als– which is just one of many tips we’ll be pro­vid­ing on Saturday.

Plants I’m reserv­ing for my win­dow box– “bum­ble bee” theme in black and limey-yellow.

If all of that isn’t enough to bring you out, then you’ll cer­tainly want to come out to meet Joy Bossi of the radio show “Joy in the Gar­den” who will be broad­cast­ing right on site!  Feel free to chat with Joy and get your ques­tions answered!  Joy has a near-encyclopedic knowl­edge of all things land­scape– and she’s a hoot as well.
