Holiday Dish Gardens

Annex 2, Tim Pollak, outdoor floriculturist, Chicago Botanic Garden

Simplify your holidays with one centerpiece to adorn all of your holiday feasts! Dish gardens are miniature landscapes grown in shallow containers that may be used as living centerpieces throughout the year. Learn about different containers, materials needed to assemble them, and proper plant selection. Then create your own beautiful, functional dish garden. Tim Pollak demonstrates how to use them for seasonal color and shows you how to incorporate different themes. Please bring an apron, trowel, gloves, and hand pruners. Cost is $74. Chicago Botanic Garden members pay $59.
