Soil Health and Garden Workshop
Join Conservation Nebraska, Upper Big Blue Natural Resources District, and Natural Resources Conservation Service for an interactive and educational Soil Health & Community Garden Workshop!
This free community event is designed to educate and engage participants in understanding the importance of healthy soil for productive gardens and sustainable landscapes. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just getting started, you’ll gain practical knowledge and hands-on experience.
What You’ll Learn & Experience:
🌱 Understanding soil health fundamentals — including pH, structure, and fertility
🧪 Live demonstrations of soil testing techniques
🌧 A rain simulator demonstration showing how different soil types respond to rainfall
🌻 Sustainable gardening practices you can apply at home or in community spaces
🤝 Opportunities for community engagement and knowledge sharing
Participants will also help generate baseline soil data for the garden while learning how soil impacts plant growth and water management.
***Please note, due to capacity limitations, only the first 20 soil samples that arrive at the event will receive testing.***
The workshop will highlight Project GROW, bringing awareness to this community space and its role in promoting local conservation and gardening efforts.
Come learn, connect, and grow with us — and enjoy a free lunch while you’re here!
