I'm so excited to announce the launch of my BRAND NEW online class Container Gardening to Suit Your Style, filmed for Garden Gate magazine earlier this year. This class goes far beyond the basics of teaching about soils and fertilizers although I do cover that. I teach you to understand and interpret the key characteristics of SIX unique design styles, planting up examples of each, including waterwise, tropical, and contemporary. The downloadable Resources offer even more ideas for plants you may want to explore as well as full planting plans.
You'll own the class forever, can watch it whenever you like, on any device. You can even ask questions via a private Facebook Group that will be set up for students to share their questions, successes and more.
Intrigued?
Watch this trailer and get a sneak peek at the content and designs!

My favorite is soft and romantic. What a great idea for a video course.
Thanks for entering Nancy! Good luck
Year round beauty would be my pick as it would be something I could use in small scale like a container and also in a larger setting elsewhere in the garden. I think it would help tie in the full garden with specific moments in pots. Thank you for the opportunity!
So glad you've entered Craig!
HI Karen,
Year round interest is my favorite kind of container, here in WA state! I like to use bulbs and rhizomes, along with evergreen foliage, to create multi seasonal surprises!
Definitely year-round beauty! I live in New Hampshire so it's nice to have something pretty to look at it this time of year (and particularly in March when my view is dirt-covered mounds of snow in various stages of melt, ha ha).
That sounds COLD!!! Thanks for entering Katie
My evolving taste has me squarely in the camp of all season style using plants that are beneficial to pollinators and plants that hold their shape and provide interesting details and color all winter in a Z5 climate.
Good luck Cathi!
Karen, the class looks fabulous! I'm a fan of contemporary container designs that include bold color elements.
Thanks Kim! I think you'd like several of these designs – lots of great foliage! Good luck.
Picking only one type of container is hard. I love them all! Since it's winter now, I need year round beauty, but I know next spring it will be big, bold and beautiful. I have never tried asian inspired but I'm sure I'd love it too. Hoping I win! I have your first book and am hoping to get your new one soon. Merry Christmas.
Hi Diane – Merry Christmas to you too! Good luck – both with your Santa wish list and this giveaway 🙂
Waterwise would do the trick for us. We travel quite a bit and to have something that could tolerate our short absences and still look amazing would be wonderful.
Thanks for entering Barb – good luck!
Karen, thanks for offering an on line class! Terrific time saver with everyone's busy schedules. Trying to break away from the container norm…..and like the bold, contemporary style. Happy Holidays!
I don't do 'norm' so you'll love them all Denise 🙂
Big, bold and beautiful so that I can fill in spots in my border garden.
Glad you've entered Beth!
Hi Karen
Love getting your e-mails!
All of them would be wonderful, but I would have to go with big, bold and beautiful.
I love the wow factor in some of my pots.
Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Donna
Hi Donna, how kind of you – thank you! I'm delighted you've entered to win this great prize – good luck!
Hi Karen. If I had to pick just one style it would be year round beauty. I have both of your books and have been following you for some time now. I have learned so much from your other classes and your blog. I even bought some beautiful things from your husband to help me plant rows ha ha…..I also live in the Pacific Northwest. I love that the new online formats make this kind of design education available to people like me.
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement Karyn! Glad you've entered!
My favorite would be year round beauty. I read and learned much from both of yor books and look forward to the online course.
Thank you Jean – I'm thrilled to know my books helped you – good luck !
I gravitate to Asian styles in much of my art and decor preferences, but I like the eye catching power of bold shapes and colors… so a mix of those two, plus waterwise because I am forgetful sometimes. I guess I just can't pick one!
Thank you for the giveaway!
You're welcome – good luck!
Love co ntainers that are big, bold, exciting, and season appropriate. For some sad reason, the plants in my containers often do not thrive …or simply rot. My own landscaping designs & plantings do great. Perhaps I either over water, or underwater, or the soil mix is not correct. I need to learn and/or get rid of bad habits. Thanks!
Lots of tips for you in my class Cecilia – good luck

I'm interested in year- round beauty. I live between Vancouver and Longview, so there should be options! I LOVE your books. I discovered them at my local library this summer, and I have checked them out several times since. I'm doing some garden expansion, and your foliage ideas are helping me with my plant choices!
Sounds like you need to have a word with Santa Clarice!!!
I love the year- round style the most. I still have colorful bushes in my pots due to taking your course Foliage First on Craftsy. Love your Books and your knowledge of container gardening.
Hi Joyce, so glad you sound that class and my books helpful. I know you'd love this new class -good luck!

Good luck!
Waterwise, definitely! I resent schlepping a hose across the yard for plants that can’t last a few days on their own in a South Texas summer.
Understandable!
