The numerous options available include edibles, annuals, perennials, tropicals, trees and shrubs.

Visitors can tour the improved new and improved container gardening showcase. This 1,800-square-foot area features a built-in fire pit, seating walls and an array of pottery, statuary and fountains. A container class is set at 10 a.m. Participants can plant a spring container just in time for the season. This class costs $25 per person. For more information, call www.eastcoastgardencenter.com.
