Don’t Treat Your Soil Like Dirt

Resource person: Audra Bullard - office@clehighlands.com

Description:

After this class you will never look at your soil the same again! Join Dr. Laura Ney as she introduces you to the complexity of the soil under your feet. Learn how soil, as well as many other place-specific factors, determine what plants do well in a given location, and what we can do to maintain and improve the functionality of our soil. Dr. Ney will also discuss Highlands soil and native plants that are well-adapted to life in mountain gardening environments.

Presenter: Laura Ney is the Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension Agent Athens Clarke County. After completing her bachelor’s in Horticulture from UGA, with certificates in organic and international agriculture, Laura worked as an educator and farm manager at the University of Georgia’s Costa Rica campus. She then earned a PhD, focusing on soil health and nutrient cycling.
