About the Event

Join UC Master Gardener Janice Moody to discover the multifaceted ways you can container garden with succulents, including the use of funky household or garden items that you can repurpose into pots. You will not only learn why succulents make great container plants, but also learn about pre-planting considerations, such as environment and soil. Then she’ll discuss design basics, such as colors, textures, and size, as well as their proper care and maintenance to keep them healthy and looking great.

UC Master Gardener Presenter Janice Moody: Janice’s horticultural roots run deep—she grew up on a nursery that her family started in Half Moon Bay in the early 60’s. Although she majored in Dietetics at UC Davis, her inner passion for gardening never waned and after wearing many hats over the years, she finally found her true calling in life when she became a UC Master Gardener in 2010 and eventually started Seascapes Succulent Nursery and Garden Design in 2016, located in Half Moon Bay. She calls herself a jack of many trades, but a master of only one—gardening. She feels so fortunate to be able to work outdoors, doing what she loves most, and sharing her gardening knowledge with others.
