Workshop: Soil Health in Raised Beds

Join us for a volunteer day at Labor Serena Community Garden!

We’ll begin with a discussion on the importance of soil health in raised garden beds. Good soil, with amendments like mulch and compost, is vital for conserving water and supporting healthy plant growth.

Then we’ll dive right in with some hands-on work! Together, we’ll be revamping several raised beds from the ground up. We’ll build a new foundation so the beds retain more soil during watering. Then we’ll fill the beds with soil and fresh compost, before topping them off with a protective layer of mulch.

This is a great opportunity to build practical gardening  skills, connect with  others, and ensure that this community garden has a solid foundation for its  spring growing season.

No prior experience is needed! The staff of Labor Serena will be providing food and beverages – Just bring your energy and get ready to get your hands in the soil.
