• Join Synergia Ranch and Cruces Creatives’ Seeding Regenerative Agriculture Project for the first of two field days on orchard biodiversity!

  At this Earth Day workshop, we’ll focus on building biodiversity in the Synergia Ranch orchard, starting from the ground up with beneficial soil microbes from Johnson-Su composting bioreactors. The basic agenda for the day is below:

  09:00-09:45: Introductions and breakfast/brunch

  09:45-12:00: Filling Johnson-Su bioreactors, sharing results from replications of Dr. Johnson’s research

  12:00-13:00: Lunch

  13:00-15:00: Inoculating orchard trees with Johnson-Su compost as part of a citizen-science experiment

  What to wear/bring:

• Work clothes
• Gloves
• Goggles/eye protection
• Face masks (for filling bioreactors, which can be a dusty process)

Location:

Synergia Ranch

26 Synergia Road

Santa Fe, NM 87508

Thanks to funding from the McCune Charitable Foundation, the New Mexico Foundation, and the Nusenda Foundation, this field day includes two free meals: breakfast and lunch, both prepared by the amazing chefs at Synergia Ranch.

This workshop will be followed by a May 27 field day on hedgerow plantings.

THIS IS A FREE WORKSHOP, BUT SINCE SPACE IS LIMITED, PLEASE PRE-REGISTER TO SAVE YOUR SPOT.
