The content focuses on urban environments, but many of the concepts are applicable to gardens anywhere. Children ages 13 and up are welcome to participate with an adult chaperone.Tickets are required. We reserve a set number of tickets for TBC Members, NYC DOE teachers and NYCHA residents; please select the appropriate ticket group when registering (on the Monday before a workshop, any unclaimed tickets remaining in reserve will be released to the general public). We offer multiple events of the same workshop each month, so if one is full please check for other available dates. If you are a TBC Member, DOE teacher or NYCHA resident and can't find available tickets, please reach out to us at education@thebattery.org so we can work with you to find a solution. If you don't have a ticket but would still like to attend, you're welcome to drop in at the start of the workshop and if we have space we will include you; however, space is not guaranteed.Soil &amp; Compost: Learn to manage the health of your vegetable garden soil through a deeper understanding of its composition and biology. Participants will have the option to take home some compost and/or cover crop seeds to support their gardens.The Soil &amp; Seed Starting workshop will help you to:Determine your soil structureRead a soil testMaintain the health of your soil biology through effective use of amendments and cover cropsAdapt to the needs of raised beds vs. in-ground growingChoose between a till or no-till approachManage soil moisture through effective wateringAdjust your practices for annual vs. perennial cropsSurvey different composting systems including 3-bin, single-bin, trench, bokashi, and worm compostLocation: Meet at the entrance to The Battery Urban Farm, marked on this map.

                "description": "The Battery, New York City’s first waterfront park was created in 1693. Some 300 years later, private citizens established The Battery Conservancy to raise funds to transform the 25-acre landscape which had become dilapidated, downtrodden and overlooked as a sought-after destination.\r\n \r\nToday it is the thriving green heart of dynamic Downtown New York.  It is a model of conservation and biodiversity with vast public gardens, organic urban farms, toxin-free lawns and SeaGlass, the innovative aquarium carousel. It has set high standards in planning, design, construction and sustainable park management."
