The heart of your garden is the soil. Whether you garden succeeds or fails, is directly related to your soil, the micro-organisms that live in it, and the organic matter they feed off of. Join Wasatch Community Gardens for a lesson on soil matters.

We will talk about adding organic matter and other amendments, composting, soil testing, identifying nutrient deficiencies, organic fertilizers and more. Learn how to build your soil from the ground up!

”Attending Growing Community Gardens has been essential to establishing a successful, well supported garden at our school.“
