Urban soils suffer contamination, abuse and neglect that affects public health and the health of local plants and animals. We will learn criteria for assessing a site for possible contamination from heavy metals and chemical pollutants and discuss how to create a combined strategy of phytoremediation (plants), microremediation (bacteria), and mycoremediation (fungi) to implement on your site to help heal your soils. Please bring clear printed images of the site you want to address to class these images should show spontaneous vegetation of the site as well as any cultivated plants.
This workshop is only open to present and past participants of The Huntington Botanical Gardens "Train - the - Trainer" and "Growing Your Green Thumb" Programs.
This is a grant sponsored course intended as professional development for people actively involved in teaching gardening on a community, education, or professional level.
An email address, program title and year are required to register.
