This Soil Health Workshop will provide participants with an opportunity to further their understanding of the vast world of soil biology. Rethinking your soil management practices reduces weed, disease, and pest pressure, resulting in less labor, increased soil moisture retention, as well as healthier and better-tasting crops. Guest speaker, Charlotte Canner, will be joining us from the nonprofit and Evergreen Nursery partner, Our Water Our World, where she will be covering a wide range of topics on improving your soil health and the importance healthy soil plays in building a diverse ecosystem within our yards and gardens.
