Soil Health and Compost Basics (Part 1 of 2)

August 3, 2023
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Cornell Cooperative Extension, Partnerships for Parks, and NYC Parks GreenThumb bring you a two-part learning series on soil vitality and its impact on plants. Plant health is directly linked to the health of the soil it's growing in. If we take care of the soil, the soil will take care of our plants and crops.

Join us in this lunchtime webinar to learn the basics of soil science and soil health and different ways to assess, prepare, and amend the soil in order to improve its vitality.
