Container Veggie Gardening

Come see us at the San Mateo County Fair! Learn how to grow a variety of vegetables, herbs and even fruits on a patio, balcony or any small space using containers. We will learn about the containers and which plants to grow for your microclimate and discuss soil needs and watering options. This program is presented by the UC Master Gardeners of San Mateo County.
