The Great Garden Series continues at the Durango Public Library on Wednesday, May 8th at 4:30 with a talk on - "The SOIL Outdoor Learning Lab" at Riverview Elementary.

SOIL Outdoor Learning Lab is on a mission to cultivate a public outdoor growing facility rooted in community engagement, educational and economic opportunity, multigenerational collaboration, cultural and ecological stewardship, and healthy living practices. SOIL aspires to realize this mission by designing and developing an innovative horticulture and education facility to benefit the entire community of Southwest Colorado.

The first phase, a community and education garden, was opened to the public with programming for students across the region beginning June 1, 2023. The next phase will deliver a 42' grow dome greenhouse! To learn more, join us for this talk or visit SoilLab.org.
