Soil will make or break your success in creating and maintaining any type of garden. The successful cultivation of any plant comes down to proper soil preparation. During this one-hour presentation, Carl will discuss what soil is, how it works, and how it can be created and enhanced. Samples of some the Botanical Garden's favourite soil mixes will also be available, including our peat, vegetable, perennial and rock garden soil mixes.

This is an indoor presentation. Please feel free to bring along your lunch. Format: Oral presentation.
