Keep Sedona Beautiful Educational Programs

Building Great Soil

WITH STEPHEN SCOTT from Terroir Seed
Saturday, November 8
10:00 am - 11:30 am

Keep Sedona Beautiful
360 Brewer Road, Sedona, AZ 86336
 
Soil is the foundation of all of our food and health, but we have learned to treat it like dirt over the past 75 years. Healthy, fertile and vibrant soil produces weather tolerant, pest and disease resistant plants that grow incredibly delicious and nutritious food, providing a noticeable improvement to our daily health.
 
Come join Stephen as he explores the different ways you can improve your garden soil, no matter if it is a traditional garden, containers, planters or at the community garden.

Sheet Mulching Now for Spring Planting 

Presented by Greening Harmony
Saturday, November 8
1 - 3 pm
This will be a hands-on workshop creating a garden without digging, tilling or weeding.  A centuries old method popularly known today as "lasagna gardening" or in permaculture, "sheet mulching."

Participants will learn about selection and layering of materials to build an environment for microorganisms to happily do their work and to make an enticing home for worms.  Preparations now can create new beds for spring planting.
Sheet Mulching  
We will be applying materials for layering: leaves, straw, manure, fresh kitchen/ produce scraps, compost, coffee grounds, cardboard, amendments such as bone meal, azomite etc. to a previously uncultivated garden space.
  
Please dress prepared to participate in creating a sheet mulched garden space.  This is a non-strenuous learning-by-doing activity.
  • Workshop is limited to 15 participants.
  • If you have questions about participating please call to inquire 928-203-0169.
  • Cost is $8
 

 Greening Harmony is supported in part by grants from:
