Garden Soils -
What you need to know for containers,
raised beds and garden planting​​
Whether you are planting into the earth, blending a soil mix to fill a raised bed, or buying soil in a bag for containers, there are basic characteristics that all soils must have to support healthy plants. This class will cover the organic components and methods needed to build and maintain healthy soils, where to source ingredients, and the best practices for watering and fertilizing.

In addition to growing specialty and hard-to-find plant varieties, Mary also conducts on-farm classes to help the beginner and the advanced farmer and as well as gardeners learn the principles and practices of sustainable agriculture.
