2025 is the year we are finally going to start that no-dig vegetable garden!

The promises of a no-dig garden seem endless: improved soil structure and health, better water retention, reduced weed growth, higher yields, less labor, minimal soil erosion, increased soil biodiversity, decreased need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides.... is it too good to be true?

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced gardener, this FREE talk about the best practices and methods associated with "No-Dig" growing will educate, entertain and inspire.

Facilitated by garden educator, market gardener and edible landscaper Laura Boyd-Clowes, we will explore some of the more challenging aspects and dispel common myths about No-dig gardening. Laura will share photos & stories and compare results from farms and gardens she has worked on over the last decade, drawing on expert research in soil science, ethnobotany, and commercial agriculture.

Bring your questions and a notebook!

Please join us in celebrating the Spring Equinox at this friendly and informal community education event.
