The Communal Garden: Compost & Healthy Soil

Classes in The Communal Garden series teach gardeners skills that can be used in community gardens or to support their community through gardening. They are low-cost in an effort to advance gardening skills in our communities. The series is a part of the Conservatory’s Growing to Green program, which supports and develops community gardens across Central Ohio.

As the season winds down, it’s the perfect time to focus on soil health. This class will cover soil amendment techniques, including composting, mulching, and adding nutrients to prepare your soil for next year’s growing season. More experiential learning using our own composting site.
