SUMMARY:Soil Health for the Home Gardener
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a workshop exploring why soil biology is the true engine of a thriving garden. You will learn practical techniques for inoculating your garden with beneficial life\, as well as how to identify practices that protect—rather than harm—your microbial community. We will also cover the essential step of mineral balancing to ensure your soil has the proper nutrients to support a healthy\, nutrient dense harvest.

SUMMARY:NACD Stewardship Week: Soil. Where It All Begins
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 NACD Stewardship Week theme\, Soil. Where It All Begins\, celebrates the incredible power of soil to support life in all its forms. Soil is not just the ground we walk on. It is the starting point for healthy food\, clean water\, thriving habitats\, and resilient communities. From backyard gardens to forests and city parks\, everything begins with what is beneath our feet. \nSoil does a lot more than grow plants. It holds water\, cycles nutrients\, and provides homes for billions of living organisms that help keep nature in balance. It keeps roots in place\, helps prevent flooding\, and supports wildlife and people alike. The trees in our neighborhoods\, the food on our tables\, and the natural places we love all depend on healthy soils.
