Soil in the City: How Cultivating Living Soil can Improve our Relationship with Urban Ecosystems

Marco Thomas is a natural farmer and living soil expert. Mr. Thomas will discuss his practice, showing us how gardening starts with growing microbes, not plants. 

Special guests from various related industries and the Lachine Canal community will be invited to participate in a discussion post-presentation. The focus of this roundtable will be to create connections and new understandings among the various actors involved in the alteration of urban land.

This event is part of the MDES22 Research-Creation Show.

How can you participate? Attend the discussion in person (note, there is a maximum of 25 audience members permitted in the space) or online by registering for the Zoom meeting or watching live on 4th Space's YouTube channel.
