Next, Rita Randolph, owner of Randolph's Greenhouses in Jackson, Tenn., will share the newest trends in container gardening, unique design principles and mix of plants, plant characteristics to look for and the importance of choosing the right container. Also included will be soil mixes, topdressing and insulation ideas, production methods and tips on retailing.
The final speaker will be Jimmy Turner, senior director of Gardens at the Arboretum.
