The Tapley Youth will describe the simple soil health techniques they’ve used to rebuild soil health and make it possible to grow organic food\, like mulching\, soil ferments\, cover cropping\, and mulching. They’ll also demonstrate a few of the soil test methods they use to regularly monitor soil health. \nThey’ll describe how they designed and evolved this intensive garden over time\, how they care for it so it grows lots of food\, and how they’ve learned to grow culturally important crops in New England. \nThey’ll even demonstrate how they use harvests from the garden to make something delicious (with samples to taste!) \nWe hope you’ll walk away inspired to spearhead your own community garden\, identify potential partners to get involved with\, and leave motivated to create an organic food source in your community! \nIf you have questions\, please reach out to Sister Anna Gilbert-Muhammad (anna@nofamass.org)
