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.

Thank you to @ocean_state_ellary for hosting Monday evening gentle yoga sessions these past couple of months, and to everyone who joined us on the lawn outside the Betsey Williams Cottage! As the evenings get cooler, we`re ending the season a little early, so we won`t be gathering next Monday, September 21. Enjoy the start of autumn! 🍂
