Discover how to create a living soil and reap its benefits for years to come.

Soil is alive with microorganisms that help provide garden plants with the all-important nutrients they need. Learn about the soil food web, the basics of soil science (texture, structure, pH), how to foster and maintain soil health, and why a soil test is a great starting point. Led by Duncan Himmelman.

Duncan Himmelman earned his doctorate at Cornell University and taught horticultural science at the college level for 24 years. He recently retired as the Education Manager at Mt. Cuba Center, a public garden in Delaware devoted to native plant advocacy. He continues to enjoy teaching, designing landscapes and promoting ecologically focused gardening practices.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of Memorial Hall Library, Andover Seed Library, Andover Pollinator Pathway and the Andover Garden Club.
