Ever wondered how soil can store carbon dioxide or support a vibrant home garden?

Linda Brewer, a soil scientist with Oregon State University’s horticulture department, will bring you up to speed April 9 with her talk “The Secret’s in the Soil.”

Brewer will speak to Salem City Club at noon Friday over Zoom. Her talk will address the role soil plays in home gardens and compost, on farms and in the broader environment, using the latest research. She’ll discuss nutrient cycling, water management, carbon sequestration and more.

Salem City Club programs are free to members and $5 for non-members. To register for the talk or learn more, visit the club’s event page.
