Michael’s on the Bay at Selby Gardens was packed with green thumbs Jan. 20 at Lunch in the Gardens: Vertically Inclined. The event was part of the lunch and learn series that started in October and aims to teach gardeners new skills, foster a new appreciation for nature and raise funds for Selby Gardens’ community outreach education programs, international research and conservation efforts and world-class horticulture displays.


This installment featured landscaping expert Seth Stottlemyer of Oasis Gardenscapes, who taught attendees how to create vertical gardens when planting with limited space.
