This engaging program introduces participants to the fundamentals of soil microbiology through the lens of the Soil Food Web. Focusing on the “what,” “why,” and “how” of soil organisms, it explores how microbes drive nutrient cycling, support plant health, and contribute to resilient, regenerative ecosystems. Attendees will learn practical ways to reintroduce and support microbial life in their own gardens using compost, biochar, and soil health principles. The session concludes with hands-on microscope time, giving participants a direct look at living soil biology in action.
