Soil is amazing and alive! But is the soil in your garden healthy? This presentation by Miriam Cheng will help you learn how to enhance, protect, amend and rebuild the soil in your garden, neighborhood and the planet! We will cover soil composition, how to test your soil, and how to amend it for a healthy garden. We will also talk about the differences between soils in the ground vs. raised beds vs. container gardens and how to best prepare it so your garden shines.
Miriam Cheng is the owner-operator of Wild Child Native Gardens LLC, where she works as an organic garden coach and native landscape designer. She shows people how to grow and enjoy plants in their own spaces, while also teaching in community group settings for adults and children.
Miriam grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and became involved early in life in ecosystem conservation, native habitat restoration and kitchen gardens.
