Event description

Join us in Whenuapai on 15th February 2025 for an in depth look at the fascinating subject of SOIL.

We are very excited to have Sarah Smuts-Kennedy as our workshop facilitator. She is the founder of For the Love of Bees and the OMG urban farm on Symonds Street, Auckland. She is an artist and a regenerative biology-first grower at Maunga Kererū where she has practiced permaculture, biodynamic and biology-first regenerative systems since 2010. Sarah received a Commendation for her work at For The Love of Bees, The Sustainability Superstar Award at the Sustainable Business Awards.

Sarah began seeking advice from Daniel Schuurman in 2014 with her first regenerative artwork The Park. In 2018 she asked Daniel to support the development of OMG. They have worked together ever since, developing what has become the Earthworkers programme, as a mechanism to support growers to become agents of positive environmental change. She is a Co-Creator and Facilitator of the Earthworkers: Regenerative Horticulture 101 course.

Sarah will take us through the fundamentals of soil, from formation and structure, through microbiology and the soil food web, expanding into the principles and practices of 'biology- first' soil improvement. 

Following the presentation we will tour Solstice Organics and finish with a shared lunch - bring a plate.
