Fall 2023: Soil, Compost, and Mulch

Soil is life. Soil is alive. Without soil, none of us would be here. Come join Joanna Botvin, Education Coordinator at the Houston Botanic Garden, for a dynamic workshop on how to build soil, create compost, and utilize mulch to benefit not only your garden but the earth as a whole.

Joanna has been a garden educator for many years, and this is where her passion and professional work have merged into one. She loves to garden and design permaculture landscapes, be outside hiking with her dog, swim in natural waters, make medicine with plants, and teach those around here how to become more in tune with nature and the cycles of our bodies.
