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 everyone who made Rosé in the Roses so memorable! Last Thursday, we celebrated the Conservancy and community, while giving a bittersweet send-off to RWPC’s outgoing board chair, Joe Pari.

Shout-out to @theprovidencedrumtroupe and @thesoundofgravity for filling the Botanical Center with magical sights and sounds – we can’t be the only ones still humming Pink Pony Club, right? 🤩 And to talented musicians Ashley Frith and @luisgilbertord for serenading guests throughout the night!

Stay tuned for a part-2 recap highlighting the rest of our amazing vendors and sponsors who made this year’s event one for the books!
