About the program:
Theresa Lyngso is a Master Gardener and Master Composter. Her study of soil has shown her how our gardening practices can make a difference, not just to the health of the plant, but also to the greater environment. In this talk, Terry will explain the difference between soil texture and soil structure, how to open up clay soil and how to help sandy soil retain moisture, the importance of soil structure, and how to build soil structure in the garden. Additionally, she will explain the difference between organic fertilizers and synthetic fertilizers and why it matters to your roses. She will also go over the value of mulches. Terry will bring samples of composts, mulches and organic fertilizers and give an explanation of each.
Prior to the presentation at 7:00 PM, we will have time for snacks and socialization, so plan on arriving at around 6:15 PM.
