SUMMARY:Container Gardening Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Fall Container Gardening Workshop with Meadow City Nursery\nTuesday\, September 10th\, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM EDT \nNo yard\, no problem!\nMany native plants thrive in outdoor planters\, where they can still provide food for birds and pollinators. In this hands-on workshop\, we will put together a container garden with three native plants\, which can live on a porch\, a balcony\, or in your yard. \nIncluded in the cost of the program are:\nYour choice of planter/bring your own planter (see below)\nGrowing media to fill planter\nYour choice of 3 native plants (in 4″ pots)\nGuidance/materials on plant selection and maintenance\n\n\nChoose your planter (photos below): Wooden whiskey barrel planter\, black fabric planter (can stand alone or be placed inside a larger decorative planter)\, or bring your own. If you bring your own planter\, we recommend one with a minimum diameter of 15″ and with drainage holes.\n\nIf you are planning to use a ceramic pot\, choose a high-quality glazed pot with a wide opening and tapered base. This gives water space to expand when frozen and reduces the risk of your pot cracking over the winter. Terra cotta pots are particularly susceptible to cracking.\n\nREGISTER: https://givebutter.com/Ve5XD2\n\n\n$45-$65 per person\, depending on planter chosen. Registration required.  \nThank you to our partner Meadow City Nursery!

We will explore both the mental and physical aspects of meditation\, breathing techniques\, and foundational yoga poses. You will receive personalized attention and receive customized yoga pose variations to make you feel comfortable in the shape. \nYou do not need to be young\, athletic and/or flexible enough to twist your body into pretzel shapes to practice and fall in love with yoga. You just need to be willing to show up\, breathe and move. \nThe program will be taught by Cari Hickerson and Kathy Hayes\, both certified yoga teachers who have more than 15 years combined teaching experience. Both are currently instructors at Yoga Roots in Cleveland Heights and are residents of Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights. Kathy has taught in Michigan\, Florida and Switzerland and currently volunteers leading Yoga for Fire Fighters locally. She also leads the outdoor summer yoga program in Shaker Heights.
