We can’t meet as a big group this month, but our scheduled speaker, Phyllis Bost, has assembled her presentation into a powerpoint to share with you. All of the photos are potting arrangements designed by Phyllis for her yard or for other people.

Anne great job handling all the technical stuff.
Loved seeing all the beautiful pots and how to do it myself. Thank you for sharing. I am using your suggestion of Torenia for my front porch shade pots.
These container gardens are just beautiful! Thanks for putting this together for us. And I loved all the quotes!
Great job, Phyllis! We appreciate this! I didn’t even have to take notes! I know I can go back to this to check, just in case I need to!
You’ve made some beautiful containers!
Thank You, Cynthia Douglas
Phyllis, I need a thriller plant for a pot on my back patio. It gets morning sun but is shaded by the house by noon, and gets watered regularly. What are some that you have used before? I have Pentas and torenia as fillers.
Try caladiums, aspidistra, dracena, coleus, or Persian shield .
This is an excellent show! Bravo for color and detail!
Thank you, Phyllis!
Oh, so beautiful! Thank you! I think I need to go shopping with these new ideas in mind. I need a thriller for a back pot, too. It is in a somewhat shady spot with a few pink petunias and some a spiller that has small yellow / coral flowers. Any ideas? Thanks again..
You could use any of the same suggestions I made for Anne’s question also shrimp plant or abutilon.
This was great. Thank you. The format enables me to go back and review anytime all the info and photos you included. Stay safe everyone. Louise
You have a wonderful talent for container gardening, Phyllis! Thank you for sharing your passion with us. Also, thanks to Gudrun and Anne for a wonderful virtual meeting!
Very inspirational, spectacular, educational and humorous!!! You did a tremendous job of creating an amazing presentation in the midst of challenging times. Loved it!!! Can’t wait to “dig into” some new containers!
Phyllis~thank you so much for your presentation on container gardening. I wish we were able to see your presentation “live.” However, your slides were a great way to brighten my day.
