Urban Sheet Mulching Workshop

Learn how to transform lawns, vacant spaces, and challenging garden areas into healthier, more productive landscapes using sheet mulching! This hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the basics of sheet mulching, an eco-friendly technique that uses layers of organic materials to suppress weeds, improve soil health, conserve moisture, and create a strong foundation for future planting. Participants will learn about the benefits of sheet mulching in urban environments, including reducing the need for chemical fertilizers, supporting soil life, and building more resilient green spaces. The workshop will cover materials, preparation methods, layering techniques, and tips for successfully applying sheet mulch in community gardens, vacant lots, and residential landscapes. Whether you are a gardener, community steward, or someone interested in creating a healthier urban environment, this workshop will provide practical tools and knowledge you can take home and apply in your own green space.
