Healthy gardens don’t start with plants. They start with soil. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by what to buy, what to mix, or whether your clay soil is “bad,” this class is for you. In this 60-minute hands-on workshop, Well Planted Gardens will teach you the foundational principles of building rich, resilient soil that works season after season — specifically for Zone 8a–8b gardeners in North Texas. You’ll walk away understanding not just what to do, but why it works.
