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.

We're so excited to welcome Julie Gearan back for another Slow Looking in Color and Line workshop at Roger Williams Park! This time, we're gathering at the Rose Garden (near the Elmwood Ave. entrance, and across the street from the Betsey Williams Cottage) on Sunday, October 18, 12-2 PM.

Just bring yourself, your creative spirit, and a chair (if you'd like) to this free drawing workshop. All experience levels welcome, and supplies are provided!

Thank you to @risca1967 for helping make this event possible!
Whether you're a mom, or appreciate a mom in your life, we want to see you at a film screening of No Country for Mothers on October 22 at 6 PM!

Roger Williams Park Conservancy is hosting a screening of this impactful documentary created by @momsfirstus about what motherhood looks like in America today, at the @rwpbotanicalcenter. 

Joining us for the screening and a Q&A panel after the film are representatives from local organizations @collectiveactionri, @rikidscount, and @unitedwayri. This open dialogue and opportunity for resource-sharing is designed to embody the film's premise: that motherhood in America is not a private struggle but a collective one. 

This event is free and open to the public! Learn more and RSVP online (link in bio): https://www.rwpconservancy.org/event/film-screening-of-no-country-for-mothers/
