Are you looking to improve your landscaping and gardening techniques, and learn more sustainable ways to prepare, plant and tend your lawns & beds?

Whether you are a professional landscaper or a home gardener, this workshop will help you adopt and integrate landscaping practices that are not only beautiful, but support essential ecosystem services such as providing pollinator habitat, decreasing erosion, and storing carbon in the soil.

If you’re a professional landscaper, this is a great opportunity to impress your client base with sustainable and resilient landscaping methods that decrease weed pressure, increase plant nutrient availability, and sink & store water. For home gardeners, you’ll walk away with these benefits as well as more ideas to enhance your existing design.

You'll learn:

• Organic techniques to care for your gardens

• How sheet mulching can reduce weeds and need for watering

• The pillars of soil health and the benefits to investing in soil

• Other advice for maintaining healthy soil, such as Carbon:Nitrogen ratios, benefits of getting your soil tested, and basics in soil microbiology

About the farm:

Resilient Roots is a non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire, empower and promote awareness about permaculture landscapes that are primarily edible and guided by ecological principles. We believe we all can make small but meaningful changes that regenerate our land and feed our neighbors and we can encourage these changes with a big, supportive community.
