What is soil health, why is it important, and how do we achieve it?
How healthy is the Lincoln Community Garden?
Julie Gillespie of Lincoln University will present a workshop at the Lincoln Envirotown Community Gardens. Julie is a PhD student in the Soil Science Department, currently researching how to connect people to our soil resource to ensure soil and food security. She has been using our community garden as her “laboratory”, and will report on her findings.
The Lincoln Envirotown Community Gardens are located on James St, on the grounds of the former Lincoln Maternity Hospital.
A gold coin donation will support the Community Gardens.

Presented by Mike Bowie
Mike has worked at Lincoln University as an entomologist for over 30 years on many ecological restoration projects including Quail Island, Mahoe Reserve and Te Ara Kakariki (Greenway Canterbury Trust). He has written many publications in the fields of entomology and ecological restoration, including co-authoring “Backyard Biodiversity in Canterbury”. Mike will demonstrate how to increase the native biodiversity in your garden, section or farm through the use of specific plants, planting designs and refugia. He will also outline ideas for projects that children could undertake or assist with.
Children – challenge Mike by bringing along an invertebrate (insect, bug etc.) you have found in your garden for him to identify.
