SERIES PACKAGE - SPOTLIGHT ON SOIL
Description
Soil is the foundation of every thriving garden—are you giving yours the care it needs?
Following the huge success of our 2024 soil series, Sustainable Gardening Australia is excited to bring you Spotlight on Soil, a brand-new four-part Master Class series designed to help you unlock the secrets to healthier, more productive soil.
Join top gardening experts as they tackle some of the most pressing soil challenges, especially in urban environments, including compaction, contamination, and the role of fungi, microbes, and minerals in soil health. Each one-hour online session is recorded and available for two weeks after the event, so you won’t miss a thing.
✨ BONUS: Sign up for the full series and receive an exclusive recording of our most popular soil class from last year— “How Soil Health Affects Pest Volumes and Food Nutrition Levels.” This must-watch session will give you eye-opening insights into how your soil health directly impacts garden resilience and food quality.
💬 “Absolutely loved this! It was a real lightbulb moment for me. I’ve been struggling with growing vegetables and nearly gave up altogether until watching this. I was doing everything wrong, and my vegetables were weak, sickly, and decimated by pests.”
