Free Soil Testing at RWP Botanical Center

First Saturday of the month, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm

This program will happen *every Saturday morning from 10am-1pm (except July and August). Bring your soil samples on March 1, April 5, May 3, June 7, September 6, October 4.

URI Master Gardeners are coming back! Starting March 1, URI master Gardener volunteers will test visitor’s soil’s pH.

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.

This program will happen *every Saturday morning from 10am-1pm (except July and August). Bring your soil samples on March 1, April 5, May 3, June 7, September 6, October 4.

Venue

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! 🍂
Join us this Friday at 10 AM for a Save the Bay cleanup at Roger Williams Park! September means it's International Coastal Cleanup season – you'll be among thousands of participants worldwide collecting and documenting what you pick up to contribute important data on marine (including watershed) debris, while helping beautify your favorite park!

Sign up (link in bio) to be part of the cleanup at the softball fields on September 18!
