Soil is not DIRT. But it does hold the digestive system of the planet, transforming rock and organic material into rich, nutritious, wonderful earth. Take a tour with Annabel Renwick, horticulturist of the Blomquist Garden, through the subterranean world to learn of fascinating new research about the interconnections between plants and their microbiomes, and how to maintain a healthy mix of all the micro-creatures. Annabel will focus on garden applications and help you understand more about what is going on beneath your feet. Qualifies for Home Horticulture Certificate elective course (5 hours).
