Let’s roll up our sleeves and dig in! This workshop will simplify and demystify soil.  We will discuss best practices for successful, environmentally friendly gardening, indoors and out.  This includes formation, hydration needs and techniques, fertilization, nutrient testing, and more.   

Bring a potted houseplant to this workshop and our experts will help you rehab and repot.

This is a members-only workshop. If you’d like to become a member, click here.
