Did you know that there are more living organisms in a tablespoon of soil than there are people on Earth?? Our futures depend on healthy soil so isn’t it odd that we don’t talk about it much?  Vastly underrated yet incredibly vital — the world would have no food security without soil.

December 5th is World Soil Day and the perfect time to learn more about this incredible resource!

✔ Hear about the importance of soil health from Harry Lowe, who with wife Mary, has owned and managed NZ BioGrains Ltd. for over 30 years.

✔ Get some tips for making soil and nurturing healthy soils from Sheryl Stivens - local organic farmer and permaculture designer and teacher 

✔ Ask your questions in our Q & A session & learn from the experiences of local Soil & Health branch members

✔ Enjoy a shared supper & cuppa

If you are a backyard gardener (or would like to be!), if you work in agriculture, are concerned about healthy food or are just interested in learning more, this event is for you! Get your FREE ticket today.

Please join us as we focus on the ground beneath our feet! 

ALL WELCOME.

This event is brought to you by Keep Learning Mid Canterbury and the Mid Canterbury Branch of Soil & Health.
