Learn to read your soil—and grow a better garden. Healthy soil is the foundation of every thriving garden. In this hands-on class, we’ll explore the basics of soil science, helping you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and how to spot above-ground clues from your plants and their environment. We'll cover essential topics like soil texture and structure; pH and nutrient availability; fertilizers and soil amendments; and choosing the right plant for the right place.
Whether you're starting fresh or trying to boost an existing garden, this practical, get-your-hands-dirty class will give you the tools to build better soil and grow healthier plants.This class will be held outdoors (weather permitting), you will be contacted if the event is rescheduled due to weather. Chairs will be provided.
The Olmsted County Master Gardeners come from all walks of life. Classes are taught in collaboration with several master gardeners.They are volunteers who share gardening best practices that promote healthy landscapes, healthy foods, and healthy lives. Master Gardeners complete a core course taught by University of Minnesota faculty and Extension educators. Upon completing the core course, they contribute their time teaching research-based horticulture practices in their communities.
