From Landscape to Foodscape: Soil Enhancements & Composting for Your Garden

Quality soil is the foundation for a healthy garden or landscape. Explore the science of soil to better understand how you can conserve and rebuild quality soil for your agricultural and landscape needs. Participants will also learn about different composting techniques to build their own soil enhancements to divert food waste from the landfill while also reducing the need for commercial compost.

This program takes place indoors and outdoors, and includes a guided tour of the Remick gardens (weather dependent).
