Soil Health Week in Montgomery County

Soil Health Week in Montgomery County is a celebration of regenerative soil practices that you can apply to your own garden or farm. Local organizations and independent professionals are coming together to educate guests on how proper soil management can make a lasting impact on the environment.

The Foodbank Inc. will offer guided tours of its urban garden, showcasing regenerative practices such as composting, biodiversity, interplanting, and the complete avoidance of pesticides and fertilizers. Guests will also explore our hydroponic lettuce greenhouse, which features beneficial insect integration, a custom nutrient blend tailored to Dayton’s water, a recycled water system, and sustainable growing techniques.

Presentations will also educate guests with practical knowledge on how to build healthy soil systems in their own backyard garden or farm.

Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just starting out, Soil Health Week is your chance to learn, connect, and take action. Come get your hands dirty, ask questions, and leave inspired to regenerate your soil.
