Description: Join the GTCD Agriculture Team and our community partners to learn about all things soil! If you have ever wanted to know what lies beneath your lawn’s topsoil, thought about starting your own compost at home, or wondered about the ways in which agriculture interacts with our local ecosystem, then this event is for you! Ideal for gardeners, hobby farmers, and families of all ages, we will have demonstrations, activities, and farm property tours. Learn about the ways in which you can support native flora and fauna, fight climate change, and prevent erosion - all by improving soil health!
