Improve Your Garden Soil Over the Summer: Solarize it!

As your spring crops fade, you may wonder what to do in the garden over the summer. If you are planning to go on vacation, don't have time to actively garden, or just don't want to deal with the heat, try improving your garden soil.

The class consists of 2 parts:

1. The initial presentation of information and discussion indoors. In this portion of the class, we'll discuss the benefits of solarization and how to use it.
2. An additional hands-on component follows outside in our Urban Demonstration Garden. Both presentation and hands on activities will take place at our Urban Garden location: 1032 Superior St., Jacksonville, FL 32254 .

Please be prepared by wearing close-toed shoes, and have a hat, sunscreen, water and anything else you need to feel comfortable outside in the sun.

Please note: Recording the presentation, either video or audio, is not permitted unless written permission is provided by the educator.
