From backyard growing, to traditional harvesting, to community and boulevard gardening, ensuring the soil where you grow food is healthy is the first step to any agriculture project.

Soils can sometimes contain heavy metals and other contaminants as a result of our industrial past and present land use, or proximity to busy roads. Potentially toxic soils can be a concern for food cultivation as contaminants may be taken up into or onto our veggies and fruits. Register now to secure your spot!

This workshop will provide:
An introduction to soil contamination
How to find out more about your soil quality
How to understand soil test results
What to do if you do have elevated metals or other contaminants in your garden soils
And best practices for growing food in or near food that may have low-to-moderate levels of contamination.
