Organic Gardening & Lawn Care
Learn to work with natural processes to create healthy, vibrant lawns and gardens.
The
organic gardening and lawn care workshop links gardening and lawn care
practices with the fundamental ecological relationships plants have
evolved with and depend on. Participants will learn how to support and
enhance the ecological processes that promote plant and soil health. It
becomes readily apparent how pesticides are counter-productive to a
thriving garden and grassland ecology. Topics will include: plant and
soil ecology, creating communities, enhancing soil and microbial
activity, water management, problem prevention and the concept of
health management. The workshop is intended for home gardeners and professionals alike.
