Soil Health workshop & learning event

Come to hear from internationally renowned soil health specialist and ground cover ecologist, Dr Christine Jones. Her easy-to-understand explanations for why we should be working so hard to establish year-round, multi-species ground cover on our paddocks and our garden plots.  This information is critical to the successful regeneration of our soils which, in turn, increases the value of the products from our soils.

Christine is easy to listen to and wants to help YOU to know what will help our local soil and climate conditions.  Come armed with your questions and problems and join the local, like-minded soil creators and improvers who are already working with these ideas. Topics covered: 

• Establishing year-round, multi-species ground cover on our paddocks and our garden plots.
