This is a beginner's workshop where gardeners bring in a sample of their own garden soil and we work together to discover its qualities and needs for the new growing season. We will demystify the basics of at home and mail in soil tests. The workshop will take a sample of soil that you bring in and we will go through several hands-on tests together - like a soil texture jar and pH, for example. These tests and other information will help you get a better idea of what you have at home. The optional take-home Soil Savvy test can be assembled and ready to drop into the mailbox. This will give you a look at the nutrients, which you can compare to some information I will send you home with. Feel empowered making amendment choices for your garden - whether that is buying soil, fertilizer, or compost - by knowing what qualities your soil already has.

Instructions for taking a soil sample from your garden bed will be sent out to registrants prior to the workshop. All workshop and soil testing materials will be provided along with a workbook and light refreshments.
