Great gardens start from the ground up. In this informative class, we’ll dig into the basics of healthy soil and how proper planting and soil preparation can make all the difference—whether you’re dealing with heavy clay, sandy soil, or something in between.
We’ll talk through soil structure, moisture management, and nutrient balance, and how thoughtful soil amendment can improve plant health, reduce stress, and set your garden up for long-term success.
You’ll learn about:
Proper planting techniques that protect roots and promote growth
How to work with (not fight) clay and sandy soils
Improving soil moisture retention and drainage
The role of mulch, compost, and amendments
Simple steps to “save” poor soil season after season
Perfect for new gardeners and seasoned growers alike—this class will help you build the foundation your plants need to thrive.
