The Secret Life of the Soil

 The next club meeting at Stoke St Milborough village hall is on February 12th when Nancy Lowe will be talking about ‘The Secret Life of the Soil’.

​

The Secret Life of the Soil
Find out all about the hidden life of the soil and what every gardener needs to know about this fascinating realm of life. Learn about recent studies into plant to plant communication, how to cultivate self-feeding flower beds and how to harness healthy soil for increased drought tolerance and for plants with natural pest and disease repelling qualities.
This talk includes up to date science, along with tales from Nancy’s home project, bringing the near-dead and heavily compacted soil beneath a concrete covered farmyard back to life, creating from it a thriving garden, full of food, flowers and wildlife.

We first met Nancy last February, when she gave her talk on ‘Gardening with Wildflowers’. We enjoyed it so much that we are looking forward to welcoming her back again this year.

If you would like to join us at our next gardening club meeting, then please come along to Stoke St Milborough Village Hall on Thursday 12 th February. Nancy’s talk will begin at 2.30pm, but there is tea, coffee cake and biscuits available beforehand and a chance to chat with other gardeners, so do come early. The hall is open at 2.00pm.
