Projects in the soil network,Inspirations for how soil and gardens build community.
From 2015-2018, our network’s work in different areas has shown us one thing: that the way to a vibrant, living community is not only through food, but through growing green sprouts. Growing something with one’s own hands is a special experience, and when it’s done with others, true bridges to diversity develop.
We can build bio-diversity with different soil communities.
