The Magic & Science of Soil

How does nature's operating system work? What is soil?

Join Soil Association Ambassador and founder of Compost Club Michael Kennard for a two-hour dive into the fascinating world of soil!

We'll learn how soil works as an ecosystem - from bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, right up to worms! Did you know that worms have five hearts?!

Whether you're just starting out in your garden, an allotment or a seasoned farmer, there will be takeaways for everyone. Perhaps even a look through the microscope into the exciting world under our feet.

Ecosystem restoration can take place in our own gardens, starting with the soil - and reconnecting to that is the best place to start!
