Our food is only as nutritious as our soil is and our soils are only as resilient as we support them to be. As our gardens awaken, it is a perfect time to apply amendments to nourish the biology of the soil. In this workshop In this workshop taught by Richard Hayden, Head Gardener of the LA Natural History Museum Gardens, learn basic soil biology and how to identify the microbiology of successful composting.
Participants are asked to bring a small sample of their own homemade amendment to view under the microscopes in the Brody Lab, where you will investigate the rich microbial life that inhabits healthy compost.
This class will be held at the Brody Lab in the Brody Botanical Center.
This workshop is only open to present and past participants of The Huntington Botanical Gardens "Train - the - Trainer" Program. Train-the-Trainer is a grant sponsored course intended as professional development for people actively involved in teaching gardening on a community, education, or professional level.
