Healthy soil is the foundation of an earth-friendly garden  Join the UC Master Gardeners of Monterey, San Benito & Santa Cruz Counties for this hands-on workshop exploring practical, science-based ways to improve your soil and grow healthier plants.

Earth-friendly Gardening focuses on sustainable practices that support the broader environment while making gardening easier and more resilient. In this session, you’ll learn how to improve soil structure, encourage beneficial soil life, assess drainage, and choose amendments that support long-term soil health in your yard, containers, or community garden.
