Growing Healthy Plants in Central OR’s Challenging Soils

Central Oregon’s soil can feel like it’s working against you. It’s sandy, stingy with nutrients, and not exactly the lush loam of gardening dreams. But here’s the good news: you can grow healthy, thriving plants here—once you understand what your plants are trying to tell you. In this workshop, you’ll learn why our local soils behave the way they do, how plants interact with them, and how to choose amendments and practices that actually work. Whether you’re growing veggies or flowers, this session gives you the tools to build better soil and a more productive garden—no more guessing, just growing.
