Plant to Plate Gardening:
Getting Started with Healthy Soil

Planting begins with the soil. Good soil is loamy, easy to dig, readily soaks up and stores water, drains well, and makes a good seedbed. In this program, you will learn how to improve the condition of your soil to support healthy plant life through a variety of methods including composting and fertilizing in order to provide nutrients and water for plants.

Thursday, March 23 at 4:30 PM
Once you have planned your garden and prepared your soil, it is time to plant your garden! In this program, you will learn about container gardening, timing your plantings, and the basics of starting your garden with transplants or seeds.
The Plant to Plate series is available thanks to a partnership with Yavapai Master Gardeners and Prescott Farmer’s Market.
