Maintaining living plant cover is one of the essential practices of building soil health. This Berkshire Botanical Garden workshop on April 13 from 10 – 12 provides practical guidance on using cover crops in a small-scale, non-mechanized, no-till context to improve soil health both for growing more nutritious food and for sequestering atmospheric carbon into the soil.

Sharon Gensler has been a homesteader, organic grower and educator for nearly 40 years. In her gardens, she uses no-till and cover crops soil building practices on a small scale. $15 for BBG members, $25 for non-members.
