Are you interested in creating or transitioning to organic practices in your garden? Join fellow gardeners from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 13 to learn how use organic practices throughout your garden and develop a plan for your property. The workshop will take place at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds Exhibition Hall in Noblesville.
Organic gardening is more than simply avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. In this workshop you will learn about soil health, cover corps, pest management, and sourcing organic products with an eye toward permaculture and creating a holistic ecosystem.
This workshop is part of an annual spring Sustainability Series held by Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District and Purdue Extension Hamilton County. This year’s event is also sponsored by Marion County Soil and Water Conservation District.
“Each year we focus on a different sustainable living topic and we think a holistic organic gardening approach is central to sustainability” said Hamilton County SWCD Urban Conservationist Claire Lane. “This workshop is great because it is not just about receiving great information but also developing a plan to implement it on your property so we focus on providing access to expert speakers so attendees can ask specific questions regarding their property and get advice.”
The workshop costs $20 per person, which includes lunch. Registration can be completed at hamiltonswcd.org. Space is limited, so register today.
