The Dirt on Soil: Exploring the Foundation of Your Native Plant Garden
When: February 12, 6:30pm
Where: Virtual
Soil is living and not living and determines whether we thrive or perish on Earth. In this two-part series, Kristine will lay out a foundation for how soil works, its complexity and interaction with plants. She’ll introduce the concept of Planetary Boundaries, ecological processes which keep the Earth stable and functioning. Starting with basic concepts about soil and how plants, microbes, and human beings interact with it, she’ll move to practical applications for lightening our impacts and helping support pollinators, birds, and water/land conservation. Bring your soil/gardening questions!
