Free Soil Testing at RWP Botanical Center

First Saturdays, 10 AM – 1 PM
Roger Williams Park Botanical Center

URI Master Gardeners are back! Every* first Saturday, the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center is hosting soil testing courtesy of URI’s master Gardener volunteer program. Bring soil samples for helpful pH testing and learn more about how you can improve your garden’s soil health. URI’s Master Gardeners have a breadth of gardening knowledge. Bring your plant questions to these plant experts and make the most out of the new growing seasons.

Soil testing for pH helps:

Determine which types of nutrients are available for plants to absorb through their root systems.
Ensure optimal plant growth and crop yield by allowing nutrients to be freely available.
Encourage proper root development and nutrition distribution.
Maintain a healthy amount of microbial activity in the soil.

It’s not every board meeting that you get to meet a tamandua! 😍

This curious critter made an appearance at the RWPC Board Meeting this morning at the @rwpzoo Education Center. Huge thank you to Amy Roberts, Andrea Stein, Anthony Polite, and Kim Warren from the Zoo team for letting us meet Oblio and sharing so many interesting facts about the tamandua (a type of anteater!). Oblio brought many professional insights to the meeting, too 🐜

Visit the Zoo to learn more about tamanduas and other amazing animals!
