Workshop Description
Healthy soil stores carbon, lots of it. Building the soil food web beneath your feet can reduce your emissions, store carbon and help your home, garden, local wildlife and your community adapt to a warming climate.
In this workshop presented by Sustainable Gardening Australia you will learn why your actions as an individual gardener are powerful. We’ll discuss the simple ways to improve soil to reduce our carbon footprints. Regenerative gardening and the science of soil will be covered, along with plenty of tips on how to protect and improve soil in an environmentally beneficial way, working with natural cycles, rather than against them.
