Event Details

Imagine having the ability to determine your soil's texture with just a jar, soil, and water. Join Billi Jean Petermann from the Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory to conduct a simple backyard test to identify soil texture and learn how soil texture affects plant growth and can inform gardening practices.  This activity is fun for all ages while promoting curiosity and outdoor learning in children.
