Spring is in the air. To usher in the season, The Friends of the Seaside Library presents Maggie Stuckey, author of The Bountiful Container. The book covers vegetables (17 varieties), peppers (19 varieties), beans, Thumbelina carrots, Chioggia beets, and sugar snap peas.  She also delves into herbs, edible flowers, and, most surprising, fruits. With few exceptions, most all produce can be raised in a container.

Join Maggie as she introduces the basics of soil, sun, water, seeds and propagation. Also included will be a plant-by-plant guide for growing beautiful vegetables and flowers. Did you know that you can grow apples, peaches, lemons, blueberries, and figs in containers?  Well, you can. At the end of the event, there will be a raffle and one lucky person will receive a personal, take-home, container garden.

Maggie Stuckey is a writer who grows vegetables and cooks up a storm in her Portland, Oregon, home.  She is the author of seven other books on gardening and horticulture.
