From West Cook Wild Ones:

Dwayne Anderson, University of Illinois Master Gardener, and Gemini Bhalsod, Educator for University of Illinois Master Gardener Program, will discuss the importance of soil health for ecosystems and native plant gardens.

You will learn about soil components, soil inhabitants and why soil should be viewed as a living system. The speakers will explain the soil food web and two key cycles for dynamic, living soil: the carbon cycle and the nitrogen cycle. They will examine factors required for good soil health and discuss practices you can use to maintain and improve your soil for the benefit of your native plantings.
